How the NATR8-PP model number is decoded
envelope 8×24×15 mm: the 24 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 8 mm bore — and the 15 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 5.5 kN and C0 6.7 kN for the NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance; the C/C0 ratio of 0.82 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 0.94 kN at 8 mm bore, equivalent to 0.69 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 7,500 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 8 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 15 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 0.37 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 38 g, or 0.11 g per mm² of the 24×15 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam the 8 mm pin bore sits in the miniature band; at 15 mm wide the NATR8-PP is built into compact cam drives, indexing pawls and light linkages Reading NATR/NATV: yoke rollers with inner ring and integral axial guidance; the PP suffix adds lip seals on both sides and a life-long grease fill The outer-ring ribs give axial guidance, so the roller tolerates light thrust from skewed tracks without external flanges; the 15 mm width covers most standard cam geometries The -PP suffix fits contact lip seals on both sides, retaining the factory grease and excluding water and dust; seal friction is reflected in the 7,500 r/min limiting speed. Typical applications include cam drives and indexing tables, printing press sheet-transfer grippers and woodworking machine feed tracks, where the 24 mm track diameter and 5.5 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In cam drives and indexing tables the unit fits a compact 8 mm seat, and in printing press sheet-transfer grippers the 38 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for woodworking machine feed tracks, relying on the 15 mm width and the published 6.7 kN static rating. Flangeless STO/RSTO/RNA22/NA22 rollers need external axial location; circlips or shoulders must control end float or the roller walks off the track. Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- linear rail and profile track guidance
- robotic arm linear axes
- glass and ceramic line conveyors
- printing press sheet-transfer grippers
Known failure patterns
- outer-ring fatigue cracking across the unsupported track zone under excessive static load
- track-side brinelling when the mating rail is softer than the roller running surface
- flat spots from standing loads or very short oscillating strokes on full-complement rollers
- seal lip failure and grease loss after sustained running above the limiting speed (PP/2RSR executions)
- edge wear from skewed tracks that exceed the crowned-profile correction range
- pin-seat fretting where a hard journal requirement (RSTO/RNA22) was met with a soft pin
- roller walk-off in flangeless STO/RSTO executions with uncontrolled lateral float
- contamination entry through open sides in dusty or wash-down environments
- cage fracture in caged NATR/STO rollers exposed to heavy shock
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Flangeless STO/RSTO/RNA22/NA22 rollers need external axial location; circlips or shoulders must control end float or the roller walks off the track.
- Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.
- Check the mating track hardness and flatness — a soft or scalloped rail fails before the 24 mm outer ring does.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the NATR8-PP?
The NATR8-PP is a NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance with 24 mm outside diameter, 8 mm bore and 15 mm width, envelope 8×24×15 mm. Mass is 38 g.
What does the NATR8-PP designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
NATR8-PP identifies this NATR yoke-type track roller with cage and axial guidance in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 8×24×15 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 5.5 kN, C0 6.7 kN, Cur 0.94 kN.
What is the load capacity of the NATR8-PP?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 5.5 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 6.7 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 0.94 kN. For track rollers these values already cover the thick-walled outer ring bending case on an unsupported track.
What is the maximum speed of the NATR8-PP?
HR1 lists a limiting speed of 7,500 r/min for track rollers and no thermal reference speed. The crowned thick-walled outer ring and (on stud types) the stud contact make the limiting speed the governing figure.
What must the mating track and pin look like for the NATR8-PP?
The track should be flat, harder than the roller contact and clean; the crowned 24 mm outer surface tolerates only small angular error. The inner ring lets the 8 mm pin run at normal machined tolerance; lateral guidance comes from the adjacent structure on flangeless executions.
