Description
When you’re in the middle of making hay and your square baler starts knocking or binding up, there’s a good chance one of your plunger cam follower bearings has given up. This little bearing does a big job—it follows the cam track that drives your plunger back and forth, compressing each flake of hay into tight, uniform bales. Without a good bearing here, your whole baling operation comes to a halt.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty roller bearing designed to handle the constant cycling of square baler plungers
- Precision-ground roller surface that tracks smoothly in the cam groove
- Threaded shank design that secures solidly to the plunger assembly
- Direct replacement for worn bearings—no modifications needed
- Quality construction that stands up to the dirt and debris of hay fields
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing fits New Holland and Case square balers where reliability matters most. Whether you’re baling first cutting alfalfa or picking up scattered windrows after a storm, your baler’s plunger system depends on these bearings to keep cycling smoothly. The cam follower design handles both the pushing force when compressing hay and the return stroke tension throughout long days in the field.
Made to Last
Square baler plunger systems take tremendous abuse—dirt, chaff, and the constant pounding of compressing tons of hay. This bearing uses hardened steel construction with proper heat treatment to resist wear where it contacts the cam track. The sealed design keeps lubrication in and contaminants out, even in the dusty conditions where square balers spend their lives.
Good to Know
Installation requires removing the plunger assembly, but it’s straightforward work for someone with basic mechanical skills. The 3/4-16 thread makes for a secure connection that won’t come loose under the constant vibration. Pro tip: when replacing cam followers, check your cam track for wear or scoring—a rough cam will quickly destroy new bearings, so this is the time to dress it up if needed.
