How the NATV17 model number is decoded

envelope 17×40×21 mm: the 40 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 17 mm bore — and the 21 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 14.7 kN and C0 27 kN for the NATV full-complement yoke-type track roller with axial guidance; the C/C0 ratio of 0.54 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 11.5 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 3.55 kN at 17 mm bore, equivalent to 0.86 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 1,400 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 17 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 21 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 0.70 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 152 g, or 0.18 g per mm² of the 40×21 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam the 17 mm pin bore falls in the small band, the workhorse size for gearbox planetary positions, hydraulic pumps and general cam and linkage duty Without a cage the NATV trades speed for static capacity — the limiting speed is 1,400 r/min, with C 14.7 kN and C0 27 kN NATV is the full-complement yoke-type track roller: cageless needle rollers pack the 40 mm envelope for maximum C0 27 kN, guided axially by the outer-ring ribs Typical applications include woodworking machine feed tracks, cam drives and indexing tables and packaging machine timing mechanisms, where the 40 mm track diameter and 14.7 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In woodworking machine feed tracks the unit fits a compact 17 mm seat, and in cam drives and indexing tables the 152 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for packaging machine timing mechanisms, relying on the 21 mm width and the published 27 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. The pin or shaft is part of the bearing system: harden it for RSTO/RNA22 positions, and size its deflection because the roller cannot compensate for a bent pin.

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.
• The pin or shaft is part of the bearing system: harden it for RSTO/RNA22 positions, and size its deflection because the roller cannot compensate for a bent pin.
• Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.
