How the PWKRE47-2RS-XL model number is decoded

envelope 20×47×66 mm: the 47 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 20 mm stud — and the 66 mm overall stud-and-roller length sets the required bracket clearance the catalogue lists C 24.6 kN and C0 31 kN for the PWKRE sealed double-row full-complement stud-type track roller with eccentric locking collar; the C/C0 ratio of 0.79 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 13.5 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 3.8 kN at 20 mm stud, equivalent to 1.23 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 3,800 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 20 mm threaded stud clamps directly into the machine bracket; over the roller running width the dynamic rating works out to 0.37 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement within the 66 mm overall stud length mass is 400 g, or 0.13 g per mm² of the 47×66 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam with a 20 mm stud shank the 66 mm width and 24.6 kN C rating suit high-cycle industrial machinery rather than instrument duty The stud is drilled for relubrication via the lubricating nipple in the head; the limiting speed is 3,800 r/min and no thermal reference speed is given for track rollers Stud mounting puts all moment load into the bracket — torque the stud nut to the catalogue value, support the shank over its full length, and use the eccentric collar only for its small design adjustment range The -XL suffix is the Schaeffler X-life mark: interchangeable envelope with the basic bearing, but higher load capacity and lower running temperature at the 3,800 r/min limit. The sealed 2RS execution protects the rolling elements in dirty conveyors and cam drives; seal lip drag is the reason for the conservative speed rating. Typical applications include robotic arm linear axes, agricultural and textile cam followers and conveyor transfer and diverting stations, where the 47 mm track diameter and 24.6 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In robotic arm linear axes the threaded stud bolts directly to the frame, and in agricultural and textile cam followers the 400 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for conveyor transfer and diverting stations, relying on the 66 mm stud length and the published 31 kN static rating. Never hammer the stud or use the hex socket as a press point during mounting; thread or socket damage renders the 66 mm stud unusable. Full-complement followers trade speed for static capacity — apply the lower limiting speed and expect higher drive torque than a caged KR.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Never hammer the stud or use the hex socket as a press point during mounting; thread or socket damage renders the 66 mm stud unusable.
• Full-complement followers trade speed for static capacity — apply the lower limiting speed and expect higher drive torque than a caged KR.
• On eccentric KRE/NUKRE/PWKRE units, re-torque after setting the collar — the adjustment changes the effective stud engagement.
