How the KR-19 model number is decoded
the 19 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 8 mm stud shank takes the pin or shaft; the 32 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 3.47 kN and C0 3.8 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.91 is typical for cam follower with needle roller and cage executions fatigue load limit Pu 0.415 kN at 8 mm stud gives a specific load of 0.43 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 5,600 r/min the 32 mm width carries the load at 0.11 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 5.5 mm between stud and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 29 g over a 19x32 mm envelope works out to 0.048 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for medium-high-speed cam duty at 8 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 reading KR: cam follower with caged needle roller complement; the stud is threaded for the hexagonal nut and the outer ring profile is the track contact typical applications include sheet-metal forming press feeds, textile machine cam drives and agricultural equipment cam followers this size is commonly specified for sheet-metal forming press feeds and textile machine cam drives, where the 19 mm track diameter and 8 mm stud fit standard cam and rail geometries in agricultural equipment cam followers the 19 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the threaded stud simplifies mounting; the 29 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the single-row needle complement is the lightest cam follower option; do not overload it beyond the printed C rating the stud head is relatively small; use a washer under the nut to spread the clamping load and prevent bracket surface damage
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- printing press roller followers
- sheet-metal forming press feeds
- automotive welding jig positioners
- conveyor transfer and diverting rollers
Known failure patterns
- 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
- the stud thread must be torqued to the catalogue value; under-torque lets the follower rotate and wear the bracket hole
- the single-row needle complement is the lightest cam follower option; do not overload it beyond the printed C rating
- the stud head is relatively small; use a washer under the nut to spread the clamping load and prevent bracket surface damage
- the open design has no integral sealing; in dusty environments contamination enters directly between the needle rollers and the raceway

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the KR-19?
KR-19 is a cam follower with needle roller and cage with 19 mm outside diameter, 8 mm stud shank diameter and 32 mm overall width. The stud is 8 mm and the track contact diameter is 19 mm.
What does the KR designation mean?
The KR prefix identifies this as a cam follower with needle roller and cage. In the SKF catalogue this designation carries the full specification including the 19x8x32 mm envelope and the 5600 r/min limiting speed.
What is the load capacity of KR-19?
The published basic dynamic load rating C is 3.47 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 3.8 kN. These values already include the bending-stress correction for the thick-walled outer ring running on a track.
