Urethane coated cam followers are cast using high-quality resin from world leading chemical and polyurethane suppliers. Coating cam followers with urethane require a higher level of molding process than covered bearings.
Each bearing will be media blasted before production and will require special tooling to seal each end during production to ensure smooth operation when operating. During the urethane coated cam followers molding process, we can cover the cam followers in any hardness required for the applications along with the ability to add any color pigment into the batch. While most urethane coated cam followers are for low-speed applications and are cast to the size we can also machine most cam followers to ensure consistency during high-speed events. Over the last decade, Plan Tech has seen an increase in robotic urethane coated cam followers for different applications.
The most common problem we hear about from manufacturers is that catalog urethane coated cam followers do not offer antistatic formulations necessary for high-speed applications. Upon request, Plan Tech has a variety of different additives we can add to enhance the physical properties of our urethane material. Other additives will be approved for FDA dry food contact or in case of a failure x-ray detectable urethane. No matter what size or profile needed Plan Tech has a team of engineering and sales personnel ready to assist any size project.
Plan Tech also has an outstanding team of dedicated employees with exceptional talents designing and manufacturing urethane coated cam followers. We also are very proud of the “company we keep.” Our customers include many Fortune 500 companies, most of whom have been customers for 20+ years. Their drive to become industry leaders has helped us do the same. Whether you are a start-up company or global leader, we can add value to your products with our strong engineering support, polyurethane experience and constant focus on meeting all delivery requirements. Our rapid prototyping capabilities have also received particularly positive feedback – we frequently go from “Print to Part” in 10-15 business days!
