How the 305706-C-2Z model number is decoded

the 72 mm outside diameter is the crowned track contact surface, the 30 mm bore takes the pin and the 23.8 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact across the thick-walled outer ring published ratings C 25.1 kN and C0 16.3 kN already include the outer-ring bending correction that track rollers require; the C/C0 ratio of 1.54 reflects two ball sets at a 30 deg contact angle fatigue load limit Pu 0.695 kN against a 30 mm bore gives 0.84 kN per mm of bore, and the 5,000 r/min figure is a mechanical limit rather than a thermal one the maximum permissible radial loads are Fr 17 kN dynamically and F0r 24 kN statically; because the permissible static load is the lower of F0r and C0, the 16.3 kN figure governs static selection here the 23.8 mm width carries 1.05 kN per mm, the ring section measures 21.0 mm between bore and track surface, and 490 g over a 72x23.8 mm envelope is 0.286 g per mm2 of projected area for medium-speed cam duty the 30 mm bore and 23.8 mm width are those of the 32 series ball bearing at the same size code, while the 72 mm outside diameter is 10 mm larger than that bearing's 62 mm OD — this follows the SKF rule that cam rollers keep the ISO 15 dimension series except for the outside diameter the 30 mm bore puts this at the top of the cam roller range, where the 72 mm ring and 490 g mass make it a drive-design factor rather than a minor component 3057 is the flat-running-surface double row cam roller: the same 30 deg double row angular contact basis as 3058, but with a cylindrical (flat) outer ring instead of a crowned one the 30 deg contact angle of the two ball sets is what gives the double row roller its tilting stiffness — under a moment load the rows react in opposite directions instead of unloading one edge of the ring the 2Z suffix means sheet steel shields on both sides rather than elastomeric seals: they keep coarse debris out but will not retain a grease fill as tightly as the NBR contact seals of the single row roller typical duties are sheet metal forming press feeds, tube and wire drawing guides and material handling lift tracks this size is regularly specified for sheet metal forming press feeds and tube and wire drawing guides, where the 72 mm ring rides the cam profile and the 30 mm bore takes a g6 pin the two ball rows and the 23.8 mm wide ring make material handling lift tracks a natural fit; the 490 g mass keeps the follower inertia low enough for rapid oscillating cam motion relubrication depends on the inner-ring lubrication hole and a drilled pin; if neither is provided, grease replacement needs the roller dismantled from the yoke the flat running surface assumes an accurately aligned track; angular misalignment between the roller axis and the guide surface puts the whole load onto the ring edges

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • bottle filling carousel cams
  • sheet metal forming press feeds
  • automatic assembly line actuators
  • robotic gantry track guidance

Known failure patterns

  • the flat running surface assumes an accurately aligned track; angular misalignment between the roller axis and the guide surface puts the whole load onto the ring edges
  • the cylindrical ring offers no crown relief, so any track crown, deflection or parallelism error shows up directly as edge stress and shortened ring life
  • the flat profile cannot be swapped for a crowned 3058 ring without changing the contact geometry and the tolerance budget for track alignment
  • like every double row cam roller the design prefers radial and tilting load; sustained axial thrust on the outer ring is outside the intended duty and shortens service life
  • the 2Z shield keeps coarse debris out but is not a contact seal, so fine abrasive dust in a wash-down environment can still reach the ball rows
  • relubrication depends on the inner-ring lubrication hole and a drilled pin; if neither is provided, grease replacement needs the roller dismantled from the yoke

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of 305706-C-2Z?

305706-C-2Z is a double row cam roller with a cylindrical (flat) running surface with a 30 mm bore, 72 mm outside diameter and 23.8 mm overall width. The 72 mm ring is the track contact surface and the 30 mm bore takes a pin machined to tolerance class g6.

What does the C-2Z designation mean?

305706 C-2Z is the SKF catalogue designation: the 3057 prefix fixes the double row angular contact basis with a thick-walled outer ring, and the 2Z suffix means sheet steel shields on both sides.

What is the load capacity of 305706-C-2Z?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 25.1 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 16.3 kN, both already corrected for outer-ring bending. The maximum permissible radial loads are Fr 17 kN and F0r 24 kN, and the permissible static load is the lower of F0r and C0.
