[![Browse Our Products](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/62516/08b25f71-daf5-4226-916d-2693bd171a1d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/62516/08b25f71-daf5-4226-916d-2693bd171a1d) ** ## Make a Difference With the Right Components Reduce maintenance, avoid downtime and improve your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in rigorous plant operations, such as food processing, paper converting and pharmaceutical applications, using iNTECH’s PowerCore cam followers, guide rollers and gears. PowerCore’s self-lubricity and low wear extends your maintenance intervals — keeping your uptime high and reducing your overall costs. Go Lubricant-Free Keep Machines Running Fast Unlock Smooth, Quiet Motion Go Lubricant-Free ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Intech047.jpg) ### Lower Maintenance Requirements with Less Wear When your machines rely on all-metal components, any interruption in the lubrication process will lead to downtime. Our PowerCore parts overcome these challenges: - PowerCore cam followers, guide rollers and gears are made from self-lubricating materials, eliminating the need to adhere to strict lubrication regimens. - These components avoid wear mechanisms — such as corrosive wear and galling — that affect metal machine components. As a result, they maintain smooth bearing surfaces over a long lifecycle. - Our cam followers come with optional sealed bearings, sealed end caps and optional all-ceramic or hybrid ceramic ball bearings for greater durability in contamination-prone or washdown environments. Keep Machines Running Fast ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/30802640_beverage-manufacturing-plant.jpg) ### Improve Operations With Low-Inertia Components Heavy metal components have more inertia, requiring more force to accelerate and limiting the speed of motion systems. iNTECH’s cam followers, guide rollers and gears incorporate our PowerCore material, unlocking significant weight savings: - By combining polymer-bearing surfaces with metal shafts and precision ball bearings, our cam followers weigh 40 percent less than all-metal cam followers of the same size.  - The weight savings reduces inertia, which — combined with low rolling resistance — leads to a more efficient high-speed operation. - When properly designed, our cam followers maintain full contact with the cam without any springs, simplifying design and avoiding cam surface wear. Unlock Smooth, Quiet Motion ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/50MM_iCamFollower.jpg) ### Superior Damping Performance Like many plastics, the PowerCore polymer offers inherent damping capabilities that metals don’t provide. Yet unlike plastics, its damping capabilities reach their maximum point close to typical operating temperatures of high-speed manufacturing lines.  - Our polymer motion components’ damping capabilities reduce noise and vibration as line speeds increase. - Using lighter, maintenance-free polymers for transfer, drive and helical gears eliminates vibration from same-size metal gears, increasing RPM and machine output. - iNTECH’s precision-machined polymer’s outer race absorbs shock and vibration, making our cam followers significantly quieter than their all-metal counterparts. ## Find the ideal PowerCore components for your application.
