Cam followers are an important part of automotive engine management systems. Cam followers are specialized bearings that follow cam lobe profiles. They play an important role in ensuring proper valve timing of an engine. They are guide rollers for cam mechanism and undergo linear motion.
Different types of cam followers found in automotive industry include knife edge followers, roller followers, flat or mushroom followers and flat faced followers. Proper selection of cam followers, including the related area of product safety, is necessary and is the responsibility of vehicle manufacturers.
Operating and performance requirements and associated issues vary depending on the use and application of cam followers. The functioning of automotive cam followers can be affected by the operating environment of the vehicle, lubrication requirements, loading supports and other factors.
Market for automotive cam followers is expected to maintain positive growth as key manufacturers involved in manufacturing of such components are continuously focused on developing new technology and products, either through advancements in material or manufacturing process.
The increasing economic and regulatory pressure on OEMs to develop fuel efficient vehicles is compelling auto manufacturers to invest more in research and development of products and components related to engine management system. Cam followers are made from different materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, urethane, etc. However, over time, further development in cam followers’ material and technology is expected.
Mounting pressure on vehicle manufacturers by international regulating authorities such as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to reduce emission levels in a vehicle is driving advancements in engine technologies. For instance, regulations driving innovations in engine management systems are anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period.
From a macro-economic point of view, factors such as rising standard of living, increasing disposable income and decreasing tax rates, particularly in developing nations, are expected to surge vehicle sales which will eventually lead to upsurge in sales of automotive cam followers.
Bedsides this, some of the factors such as prevailing economic fluctuations and uncertainty being experienced by some countries could hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, high cost of technology may also act as a factor restraining the adoption of high cost products among end-users. Investment in product development is anticipated to be a major trend prevailing in the automotive cam follower market throughout the forecast period.
