How the KRV-90-PPA model number is decoded
the 90 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 30 mm stud shank takes the pin or shaft; the 100 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 47.3 kN and C0 122 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.39 is typical for full-complement cam follower with needle rollers executions fatigue load limit Pu 15 kN at 30 mm stud gives a specific load of 1.58 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 1,400 r/min the 100 mm width carries the load at 0.47 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 30.0 mm between stud and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 2000 g over a 90x100 mm envelope works out to 0.222 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for low-speed cam duty the 30 mm stud diameter places this in the medium band, where cylindrical-roller full-complement designs become available for heavier radial loads the KRV execution is the heavy-static counterpart of KR: full complement of needle rollers for maximum load capacity in slow or oscillating cam tracks the PPA variant has a crowned track surface: the 90 mm OD is finished with a large-radius crown that compensates for minor track misalignment and reduces edge stress concentration typical applications include automotive welding jig positioners, conveyor transfer and diverting rollers and woodworking machinery feed rollers this size is commonly specified for automotive welding jig positioners and conveyor transfer and diverting rollers, where the 90 mm track diameter and 30 mm stud fit standard cam and rail geometries in woodworking machinery feed rollers the 90 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the threaded stud simplifies mounting; the 2000 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the absence of a cage increases friction torque; check that the cam drive can overcome the drag at low speed in oscillating applications the rollers can brinell if the stroke is too short to rotate the full complement; ensure the motion profile rotates the rollers through at least one full revolution
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- linear guide and track systems
- automotive welding jig positioners
- robotic arm track guidance
- paper mill web guide rollers
Known failure patterns
- full-complement needle rollers have no cage to separate them — momentary unloading can let rollers skew and jam in the track
- the higher static capacity of the full complement does not raise the fatigue life; the dynamic C rating still limits the L10 life
- the absence of a cage increases friction torque; check that the cam drive can overcome the drag at low speed
- in oscillating applications the rollers can brinell if the stroke is too short to rotate the full complement; ensure the motion profile rotates the rollers through at least one full revolution
- the full complement is sensitive to contamination — any particle that enters the raceway can jam the roller pack and score the track
- the heavy roller pack and full complement make this the highest-inertia cam follower; verify the drive can accelerate the mass at the required cam rate

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the KRV-90-PPA?
KRV-90-PPA is a full-complement cam follower with needle rollers with 90 mm outside diameter, 30 mm stud shank diameter and 100 mm overall width. The stud is 30 mm and the track contact diameter is 90 mm.
What does the KRV designation mean?
The KRV prefix identifies this as a full-complement cam follower with needle rollers. In the SKF catalogue this designation carries the full specification including the 90x30x100 mm envelope and the 1400 r/min limiting speed.
What is the load capacity of KRV-90-PPA?
The published basic dynamic load rating C is 47.3 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 122 kN. These values already include the bending-stress correction for the thick-walled outer ring running on a track.
