Same envelope and mounting; open vs -PP sealed execution — the three-stage seal excludes contamination at the cost of a small drag torque and lower limiting speed.

How the NATV6 model number is decoded

envelope 6×19×12 mm: the 19 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 6 mm bore — and the 12 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 5.4 kN and C0 8.1 kN for the NATV full-complement yoke-type track roller with axial guidance; the C/C0 ratio of 0.67 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 6.5 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 1.19 kN at 6 mm bore, equivalent to 0.90 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 3,100 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 6 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 12 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 0.45 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 21 g, or 0.09 g per mm² of the 19×12 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam 6 mm pin bore and only 21 g: the smallest sizes demand accurate shaft geometry, because the 6.5 mm section leaves no tolerance for a soft or tapered seat NATV is the full-complement yoke-type track roller: cageless needle rollers pack the 19 mm envelope for maximum C0 8.1 kN, guided axially by the outer-ring ribs The cageless rollers can brinell on very short oscillating strokes — the motion must rotate the full pack, not just rock it Typical applications include linear rail and profile track guidance, automatic assembly machine carriages and glass and ceramic line conveyors, where the 19 mm track diameter and 5.4 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In linear rail and profile track guidance the unit fits a compact 6 mm seat, and in automatic assembly machine carriages the 21 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for glass and ceramic line conveyors, relying on the 12 mm width and the published 8.1 kN static rating. Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips. 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.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • automatic assembly machine carriages
  • agricultural and textile cam followers
  • linear rail and profile track guidance
  • glass and ceramic line conveyors

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

  • Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.
  • 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.
  • Yoke lugs must support the pin on both sides over its full length — single-sided support turns the pin into a cantilever beam.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the NATV6?

The NATV6 is a NATV full-complement yoke-type track roller with axial guidance with 19 mm outside diameter, 6 mm bore and 12 mm width, envelope 6×19×12 mm. Mass is 21 g.

What does the NATV6 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

NATV6 identifies this NATV full-complement yoke-type track roller with axial guidance in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 6×19×12 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 5.4 kN, C0 8.1 kN, Cur 1.19 kN.

What is the load capacity of the NATV6?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 5.4 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 8.1 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 1.19 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 NATV6?

HR1 lists a limiting speed of 3,100 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 NATV6?

The track should be flat, harder than the roller contact and clean; the crowned 19 mm outer surface tolerates only small angular error. The inner ring lets the 6 mm pin run at normal machined tolerance; lateral guidance comes from the adjacent structure on flangeless executions.
