How the NATR-10-PPA model number is decoded

the 30 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 10 mm bore takes the pin or shaft; the 15 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 6.44 kN and C0 8 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.81 is typical for support roller with flange rings, with inner ring executions fatigue load limit Pu 0.88 kN at 10 mm bore gives a specific load of 0.64 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 4,800 r/min the 15 mm width carries the load at 0.43 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 10.0 mm between bore and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 61 g over a 30x15 mm envelope works out to 0.136 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for medium-speed cam duty at 10 mm bore this sits in the miniature band of the range, where the compact envelope suits tight cam tracks and light-duty indexing mechanisms NATR adds pressed-on flange rings to the basic support roller; these locate the roller axially and absorb light side thrust, but they are not designed for continuous axial load PPA changes the outer-ring profile from cylindrical to crowned; the barrel shape lowers edge stress when the cam track is not perfectly parallel to the roller axis typical applications include woodworking machinery feed rollers, cam mechanisms and indexing drives and material handling lift and lower tracks this size is commonly specified for woodworking machinery feed rollers and cam mechanisms and indexing drives, where the 30 mm track diameter and 10 mm bore fit standard cam and rail geometries in material handling lift and lower tracks the 30 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the inner ring bore simplifies mounting; the 61 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the pressed-on flange rings are not designed for continuous axial load — side thrust from a skewed track will eventually dislodge them the flanges reduce the available track width by their own thickness; check the cam channel width against the B dimension, not just the outer ring width

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • material handling lift and lower tracks
  • woodworking machinery feed rollers
  • sheet-metal forming press feeds
  • textile machine cam drives

Known failure patterns

  • the pressed-on flange rings are not designed for continuous axial load — side thrust from a skewed track will eventually dislodge them
  • the flanges reduce the available track width by their own thickness; check the cam channel width against the B dimension, not just the outer ring width
  • cage guidance (NATR) is less tolerant of shock than full complement (NATV); heavy impact can crack the cage and release rollers into the mechanism
  • the flange rings are a press fit on the inner ring; excessive axial preload during mounting can shift them and alter the internal clearance
  • do not use the flange faces as thrust surfaces for external components — the pressed joint is designed for guidance, not for transmitting axial force
  • the cage material is typically polyamide or steel; at temperatures above 100 degC polyamide cages soften and lose guidance function

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the NATR-10-PPA?

NATR-10-PPA is a support roller with flange rings, with inner ring with 30 mm outside diameter, 10 mm bore diameter and 15 mm overall width. The bore is 10 mm and the track contact diameter is 30 mm.

What does the NATR designation mean?

The NATR prefix identifies this as a support roller with flange rings, with inner ring. In the SKF catalogue this designation carries the full specification including the 30x10x15 mm envelope and the 4800 r/min limiting speed.

What is the load capacity of NATR-10-PPA?

The published basic dynamic load rating C is 6.44 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 8 kN. These values already include the bending-stress correction for the thick-walled outer ring running on a track.
