Description
SKF RSTO 5 TN is a reference of cam follower and support roller, within Bearings. Request a quote for RSTO 5 TN via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with the quote and equivalents.
The SKF cam follower and support roller of the RSTO TN series is a cylindrical roller bearing without an inner cage, designed to withstand high radial loads in applications where the shaft acts as the raceway. It is used in cams, linear guides and transmission systems, offering high load capacity and rigidity. Its compact design without an inner cage facilitates direct mounting on the shaft, making it ideal for industrial machinery that requires precise and long-lasting movement.
The designation RSTO corresponds to support rollers without an inner cage, where the letter R indicates roller, STO indicates the dimension series and the suffix TN refers to the surface treatment or the cage type, according to SKF nomenclature. The examples RSTO 5 TN, RSTO 6 TN and RSTO 8 TN show how the central number identifies the roller size, allowing you to select the right one according to the shaft diameter. This series is characterized by its robust construction and its ability to withstand radial loads in both directions.
These rollers are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as metallurgy, food, textile and packaging. They are common in machine tool cams, conveyor belt guiding systems, presses and automation equipment. Their design allows them to absorb radial loads and moderate tilting moments, which makes them suitable for applications where space is limited and precise rolling movement with infrequent maintenance is required.
To correctly select an RSTO TN roller, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial load and the lubrication conditions. It is essential to ensure proper alignment between the roller and the raceway, as well as appropriate lubrication to prevent premature wear. Mounting must be carried out carefully, verifying that the roller rotates smoothly and without excessive play. The absence of an inner cage means that the shaft must have the appropriate hardness and roughness to act as a raceway.
As for equivalences and interchangeability, SKF RSTO TN series rollers can be replaced by products from other manufacturers that follow the same designation and dimensions. It is important to verify tolerances and surface treatment, as they may vary between brands. Always consult the original manufacturer's technical specifications to ensure compatibility. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell SKF as a brand, and we can advise you on the best option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the TN suffix mean in SKF RSTO rollers?
- The TN suffix in the SKF designation indicates a specific feature of the roller, such as the cage type or surface treatment. For the exact detail, consult the manufacturer's data sheet or contact us by WhatsApp and we will advise you.
- What is the difference between a cam follower and a support roller?
- The cam follower is mounted on a shaft and follows the profile of a cam, while the support roller is used as a roller bearing in linear guides. Both withstand radial loads, but their application and mounting vary according to the equipment design.
- How do I choose the right RSTO TN roller for my machine?
- To select the correct roller, consider the shaft diameter, radial load, speed and environmental conditions. Verify that the shaft has the necessary hardness and roughness. If you have doubts, send us your application data by WhatsApp and we will help you.
