Description

SKF KR 47 B is a cam follower and support roller reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for KR 47 B via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The SKF cam follower KR B series is a roller bearing with an integrated threaded stud, designed to work as a follower roller in cams, linear guides and reciprocating mechanisms. Its robust construction withstands high radial loads and allows direct mounting onto the structure via a thread, without the need for additional supports. It is widely used in automation, machine tools and handling equipment. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell it as an official brand and advise you on choosing the right variant.

The KR B series designation reads as follows: KR indicates it is a cam follower with a threaded stud; the number that follows, as in KR 47 B, corresponds to the roller's outer diameter in millimeters. The B suffix indicates a modification in the seal or contour design, which in practice translates into an optimized profile for certain applications. To identify the exact part, it is always best to use the full part number shown on the drawing or on the machine.

These rollers are used in actuating cams, slide guides, conveyors and positioning systems. In Argentine industry they appear in packaging machines, assembly lines, presses and textile equipment. They are also common in the food and pharmaceutical sectors, where precise and repetitive movement is required. Their ability to withstand radial loads and some misalignment makes them versatile in mechanisms with oscillating movements.

To select a cam follower, take into account the radial load, rotation speed and environmental conditions. Sealing is key: if there is dust or humidity, choose variants with reinforced seals. Lubrication must be adequate and, where possible, for life. During mounting, verify the alignment of the threaded stud and the correct tightening to avoid play. If the roller runs on a cam, the contact surface must be ground and lubricated.

Regarding equivalences, cam followers from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions match: outer diameter, stud diameter and length, and thread. However, suffixes and tolerances may vary between manufacturers, so it is essential to compare technical specifications. It is not enough for the part number to be similar; load capacity and seal type must be verified. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you with that comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the B suffix mean in the part number KR 47 B?
The B suffix indicates a design variant within the KR series. It may refer to a type of seal, a modification of the outer profile or a specific construction feature. To confirm the exact interpretation, it is best to consult the manufacturer's catalog or send us the full part number and we will help you identify it.
How is an SKF cam follower KR B series mounted?
It is mounted by inserting the threaded stud into a threaded hole in the structure and tightening with the appropriate wrench. It is important to verify alignment and the recommended tightening torque. The outer race of the roller rotates on the cam or guide, so the contact surface must be in good condition and lubricated to prevent premature wear.
Can I replace a cam follower from another brand with this SKF one?
Yes, as long as the critical dimensions match: outer diameter, stud diameter and length, and thread. Load capacity and seal type must also be compared. Part numbers may look similar but not be identical. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you verify the equivalence before quoting.
