Engineering Note
Cam Follower RFQ Checklist for OEM and MRO Buyers
A short, complete RFQ is more useful than a long message with no measurable interface. Start with the existing model if you have it, then add the dimensions and operating details that determine the execution.
Minimum Useful Information

A Drawing Beats a Guess
If the code is missing or partly worn off, a dimensioned sketch or machine drawing usually resolves more uncertainty than another keyword search.
