How the NUKR72 model number is decoded

envelope 24×72×80 mm: the 72 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 24 mm stud — and the 80 mm overall stud-and-roller length sets the required bracket clearance the catalogue lists C 45 kN and C0 66 kN for the NUKR double-row full-complement stud-type track roller; the C/C0 ratio of 0.68 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 24.0 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 8.9 kN at 24 mm stud, equivalent to 1.88 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 2,600 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 24 mm threaded stud clamps directly into the machine bracket; over the roller running width the dynamic rating works out to 0.56 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement within the 80 mm overall stud length mass is 1.02 kg (1020 g), or 0.18 g per mm² of the 72×80 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam the 24 mm stud shank falls in the small band, the workhorse size for gearbox planetary positions, hydraulic pumps and general cam and linkage duty The 24 mm stud clamps into the machine frame with its nut and washer while the 72 mm thick-walled, crowned-profile outer ring runs on the cam; overall length is 80 mm The outer ring is axially guided by the rolling elements against the stud head and thrust washer; the clamping faces must be square so the 1020 g roller runs without cantilever bending Typical applications include agricultural and textile cam followers, packaging machine timing mechanisms and robotic arm linear axes, where the 72 mm track diameter and 45 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In agricultural and textile cam followers the threaded stud bolts directly to the frame, and in packaging machine timing mechanisms the 1.02 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for robotic arm linear axes, relying on the 80 mm stud length and the published 66 kN static rating. Use a washer under the nut and a flat square bracket face; the stud head alone cannot spread the clamp load of the heavy double-row executions. Sealed PP/2RS followers are life-lubricated; open KR/NUKR executions need the stud greaseway serviced on a fixed interval.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Use a washer under the nut and a flat square bracket face; the stud head alone cannot spread the clamp load of the heavy double-row executions.
• Sealed PP/2RS followers are life-lubricated; open KR/NUKR executions need the stud greaseway serviced on a fixed interval.
• Full-complement followers trade speed for static capacity — apply the lower limiting speed and expect higher drive torque than a caged KR.
