How the 361201-R model number is decoded
the 35 mm outside diameter is the crowned track contact surface, the 12 mm bore takes the pin and the 10 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact across the thick-walled outer ring published ratings C 6.24 kN and C0 2.6 kN already include the outer-ring bending correction that track rollers require; the C/C0 ratio of 2.40 reflects a single deep groove ball set fatigue load limit Pu 0.11 kN against a 12 mm bore gives 0.52 kN per mm of bore, and the 11,000 r/min figure is a mechanical limit rather than a thermal one the maximum permissible radial loads are Fr 3.35 kN dynamically and F0r 4.75 kN statically; because the permissible static load is the lower of F0r and C0, the 2.6 kN figure governs static selection here the 10 mm width carries 0.62 kN per mm, the ring section measures 11.5 mm between bore and track surface, and 51 g over a 35x10 mm envelope is 0.146 g per mm2 of projected area for high-speed cam duty the 12 mm bore and 10 mm width are those of the 62 series ball bearing at the same size code, while the 35 mm outside diameter is 3 mm larger than that bearing's 32 mm OD — this follows the SKF rule that cam rollers keep the ISO 15 dimension series except for the outside diameter at 12 mm bore this is the smallest cam roller in the catalogue chapter, the band chosen for compact cam drives, light indexing units and small transfer mechanisms where the 35 mm track diameter is already the largest envelope that fits the 3612 prefix identifies the single row execution — the trailing R is the contact-seal suffix, distinguishing it from the caged, shielded double row rollers of the same chapter the ring profile here is crowned (400 mm radius) rather than flat, which is the standard SKF cam roller surface and the reason a single row roller tolerates modest track angularity typical duties are packaging machine timing cams, glass handling line guides and cam drives and indexing mechanisms this size is regularly specified for packaging machine timing cams and glass handling line guides, where the 35 mm ring rides the cam profile and the 12 mm bore takes a g6 pin the single ball row and the 10 mm wide ring make cam drives and indexing mechanisms a natural fit; the 51 g mass keeps the follower inertia low enough for rapid indexing cycles the pin must be machined to g6; an undersized or worn pin lets the inner ring creep and changes the effective internal clearance the single row design has the lowest tilting-moment capacity in the chapter; if the cam track is not parallel to the roller axis, the load moves onto one edge of the ring
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- textile machinery cam gear
- packaging machine timing cams
- food processing index conveyors
- glass handling line guides
Known failure patterns
- the crowned running surface is standard, so the track must still be a smooth continuous profile — a step or weld spatter on the cam will brinell the ball raceway
- the NBR contact seals make this a greased-for-life unit; adding a relubrication line is pointless and forcing grease past the lips can dislodge them
- the permissible static load is the lower of F0r and C0, not C0 alone — sizing on C0 will overload the outer ring in a static or slow-motion cam position
- the pin must be machined to g6; an undersized or worn pin lets the inner ring creep and changes the effective internal clearance
- the single row design has the lowest tilting-moment capacity in the chapter; if the cam track is not parallel to the roller axis, the load moves onto one edge of the ring
- heat stabilisation here only reaches 120 degC, so exposure to higher temperatures will dimensionally destabilise the rings and shorten the seal life

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 361201-R?
361201-R is a single row cam roller with a 12 mm bore, 35 mm outside diameter and 10 mm overall width. The 35 mm ring is the track contact surface and the 12 mm bore takes a pin machined to tolerance class g6.
What does the R designation mean?
361201 R is the SKF catalogue designation: the 3612 prefix fixes the single row deep groove basis with a thick-walled outer ring, and the R suffix means NBR contact seals on both sides.
What is the load capacity of 361201-R?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 6.24 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 2.6 kN, both already corrected for outer-ring bending. The maximum permissible radial loads are Fr 3.35 kN and F0r 4.75 kN, and the permissible static load is the lower of F0r and C0.
