How the KR-16-PPSKA model number is decoded

the 16 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 6 mm stud shank takes the pin or shaft; the 28 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 3.14 kN and C0 3.2 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.98 is typical for cam follower with needle roller and cage executions fatigue load limit Pu 0.345 kN at 6 mm stud gives a specific load of 0.52 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 6,000 r/min the 28 mm width carries the load at 0.11 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 5.0 mm between stud and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 19 g over a 16x28 mm envelope works out to 0.042 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for medium-high-speed cam duty at 6 mm stud diameter this sits in the miniature band of the range, where the compact envelope suits tight cam tracks and light-duty indexing mechanisms the KR prefix identifies the standard stud-type cam follower — needle rollers with cage guidance between the 6 mm stud and the 16 mm thick-walled outer ring the PPSKA suffix combines a hex recess and a slot in the stud head — the slot allows tightening with a flat screwdriver when the 6 mm stud is too small for a standard hex key typical applications include material handling lift and lower tracks, sheet-metal forming press feeds and textile machine cam drives this size is commonly specified for material handling lift and lower tracks and sheet-metal forming press feeds, where the 16 mm track diameter and 6 mm stud fit standard cam and rail geometries in textile machine cam drives the 16 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the threaded stud simplifies mounting; the 19 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the stud shank must be fully supported by the bracket; a cantilevered stud bends under load and misaligns the roller the cage-guided needle rollers are not suited to heavy shock — impact loads can crack the cage and release rollers

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• the single-row needle complement is the lightest cam follower option; do not overload it beyond the printed C rating
• the stud shank must be fully supported by the bracket; a cantilevered stud bends under load and misaligns the roller
• the stud head is relatively small; use a washer under the nut to spread the clamping load and prevent bracket surface damage
