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.
