How the KRE26-PP model number is decoded

envelope 10×26×36 mm: the 26 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 10 mm stud — and the 36 mm overall stud-and-roller length sets the required bracket clearance the catalogue lists C 5.1 kN and C0 6.5 kN for the KRE stud-type cam follower with eccentric locking collar; the C/C0 ratio of 0.78 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 8.0 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 0.86 kN at 10 mm stud, equivalent to 0.51 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 8,000 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 10 mm threaded stud clamps directly into the machine bracket; over the roller running width the dynamic rating works out to 0.14 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement within the 36 mm overall stud length mass is 62 g, or 0.07 g per mm² of the 26×36 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam at 10 mm stud shank this is one of the smallest HR1 executions — chosen where a 26 mm envelope must carry line-contact loads that no miniature ball bearing could take KR is the stud-type cam follower with a needle roller and cage assembly: the 10 mm threaded stud bolts into the bracket and the 26 mm crowned outer ring follows the cam Reading KR/KRV/KRE: stud-type needle cam followers with PP lip seals on both sides and a 36 mm overall stud length The PP seals make this a maintenance-free unit: the 5.1 kN C rating is slightly below the open execution because the seal recesses shorten the effective roller complement. Typical applications include robotic arm linear axes, agricultural and textile cam followers and conveyor transfer and diverting stations, where the 26 mm track diameter and 5.1 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In robotic arm linear axes the threaded stud bolts directly to the frame, and in agricultural and textile cam followers the 62 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for conveyor transfer and diverting stations, relying on the 36 mm stud length and the published 6.5 kN static rating. The stud must be fully supported and the nut torqued to the catalogue value; a loose follower wears the bracket hole oval and loosens further. The eccentric collar throw is small (typically around 1 mm); it removes clearance, it cannot repair a grossly misplaced bracket.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• The stud must be fully supported and the nut torqued to the catalogue value; a loose follower wears the bracket hole oval and loosens further.
• The eccentric collar throw is small (typically around 1 mm); it removes clearance, it cannot repair a grossly misplaced bracket.
• Never hammer the stud or use the hex socket as a press point during mounting; thread or socket damage renders the 36 mm stud unusable.
