• Cam followers, sizes ≥ 22, have a hex-
agonal recess in the stud head and can be
held in place by a hexagonal key (Allen
wrench) while the nut is being tightened
• Some small cam follower designs (sizes 16
and 19) have a slot in the stud head
instead and can be held in place by a
screwdriver For additional information,

cam followers with an eccentric collar can
be adjusted to the required eccentricity via
the slot or the hexagonal recess
• Do not hit the head of the stud as damage
to the cam follower may result
