How the NA-2201-2RS model number is decoded

the 32 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 12 mm bore takes the pin or shaft; the 14 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 7.04 kN and C0 8.5 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.83 is typical for sealed support roller without flange rings, with inner ring executions fatigue load limit Pu 1 kN at 12 mm bore gives a specific load of 0.59 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 6,000 r/min the 14 mm width carries the load at 0.50 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 10.0 mm between bore and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 67 g over a 32x14 mm envelope works out to 0.150 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for medium-high-speed cam duty the 12 mm bore falls in the small-size band, the most common choice for general-purpose cam followers and light conveyor transfer rollers NA 22..2RS names the sealed support roller: contact seals on both sides retain grease and exclude contamination, at the cost of a lower 6000 r/min limiting speed than the open STO size typical applications include cam mechanisms and indexing drives, material handling lift and lower tracks and sheet-metal forming press feeds this size is commonly specified for cam mechanisms and indexing drives and material handling lift and lower tracks, where the 32 mm track diameter and 12 mm bore fit standard cam and rail geometries in sheet-metal forming press feeds the 32 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the inner ring bore simplifies mounting; the 67 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the compact envelope and sealed construction make this size sensitive to over-greasing during manufacture — excess grease churns and overheats at speed the 2RS seals limit the maximum speed; exceeding the printed limiting speed overheats the NBR lips and destroys the grease fill

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• the 2RS seals limit the maximum speed; exceeding the printed limiting speed overheats the NBR lips and destroys the grease fill
• the compact envelope and sealed construction make this size sensitive to over-greasing during manufacture — excess grease churns and overheats at speed
• sealed rollers are greased for life — adding a relubrication fitting is pointless and can force the seals open
