How the KRE-90-PPA model number is decoded

the 90 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 35 mm stud shank takes the pin or shaft; the 100 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 38 kN and C0 76.5 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.50 is typical for cam follower with eccentric collar executions fatigue load limit Pu 9.5 kN at 35 mm stud gives a specific load of 1.09 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 1,800 r/min the 100 mm width carries the load at 0.38 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 27.5 mm between stud and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 2050 g over a 90x100 mm envelope works out to 0.228 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for low-speed cam duty with a 35 mm stud shank this is a medium-size track roller — the envelope is large enough for sealed, greased-for-life executions without sacrificing dynamic capacity KRE is the eccentric-collar cam follower: the collar is shrunk onto the stud and turned to adjust the roller centre, giving a preload or alignment correction without machining the bracket the PPA suffix specifies a crowned (radius) outer-ring running surface instead of the standard cylindrical profile — the crown distributes edge stress when the track is not perfectly aligned typical applications include robotic arm track guidance, paper mill web guide rollers and automatic assembly machine linkages this size is commonly specified for robotic arm track guidance and paper mill web guide rollers, where the 90 mm track diameter and 35 mm stud fit standard cam and rail geometries in automatic assembly machine linkages the 90 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the threaded stud simplifies mounting; the 2050 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the eccentric collar is a friction fit — excessive adjustment force can score the stud surface and create a stress concentration do not use the eccentric collar to compensate for gross track misalignment; the adjustment range is typically only 0.5–1.0 mm

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• the eccentric adjustment range is limited; if the required offset exceeds the collar throw, the bracket must be re-machined
• the eccentric collar is a friction fit — excessive adjustment force can score the stud surface and create a stress concentration
• do not use the eccentric collar to compensate for gross track misalignment; the adjustment range is typically only 0.5–1.0 mm
