The standard driving system for a stud type cam follower is a slot, for use with a flat head screwdriver. However, hex sockets are available for higher torquing ability, which is especially useful for eccentric cam followers and those used in   blind holes . Hex socket cam followers from most manufacturers eliminate the relubrication capability on that end of the cam follower.

Feature
The outer diameter (OD) of the cam follower (stud or yoke) can be the standard cylindrical shape or be   crowned . Crowned cam followers are used to keep the load evenly distributed if it deflects or if there is any misalignment between the follower and the followed surface. They are also used in   turntable   type applications to reduce skidding. Crowned followers can compensate for up to 0.5° of misalignment, while a cylindrical OD can only tolerate 0.06°. The only disadvantage is that they cannot bear as much load because of higher   stresses .
