How the PWKRE90-2RS-XL model number is decoded

envelope 30×90×100 mm: the 90 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 30 mm stud — and the 100 mm overall stud-and-roller length sets the required bracket clearance the catalogue lists C 62 kN and C0 92 kN for the PWKRE sealed double-row full-complement stud-type track roller with eccentric locking collar; the C/C0 ratio of 0.67 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 30.0 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 12.5 kN at 30 mm stud, equivalent to 2.07 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 1,800 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 30 mm threaded stud clamps directly into the machine bracket; over the roller running width the dynamic rating works out to 0.62 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement within the 100 mm overall stud length mass is 2.02 kg (2020 g), or 0.22 g per mm² of the 90×100 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam with a 30 mm stud shank the 100 mm width and 62 kN C rating suit high-cycle industrial machinery rather than instrument duty 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 2020 g roller runs without cantilever bending The stud is drilled for relubrication via the lubricating nipple in the head; the limiting speed is 1,800 r/min and no thermal reference speed is given for track rollers X-life status (-XL) indicates the current Schaeffler premium execution at 30 mm bore; the 92 kN C0 rating reflects the improved rolling-contact geometry. Reading the suffix: 2RS is the FAG/INA code for rubbing lip seals at both faces, making the 30 mm-bore unit greased for life. Typical applications include woodworking machine feed tracks, cam drives and indexing tables and packaging machine timing mechanisms, where the 90 mm track diameter and 62 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In woodworking machine feed tracks the threaded stud bolts directly to the frame, and in cam drives and indexing tables the 2.02 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for packaging machine timing mechanisms, relying on the 100 mm stud length and the published 92 kN static rating. The eccentric collar throw is small (typically around 1 mm); it removes clearance, it cannot repair a grossly misplaced bracket. Sealed PP/2RS followers are life-lubricated; open KR/NUKR executions need the stud greaseway serviced on a fixed interval.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • glass and ceramic line conveyors
  • conveyor transfer and diverting stations
  • printing press sheet-transfer grippers
  • cam drives and indexing tables

Known failure patterns

  • stud bending and loosening when the shank is not fully supported by the bracket
  • bracket hole fretting and ovalisation under an under-torqued mounting nut
  • outer-ring fatigue at the cam contact from overloading beyond the track-rated C0
  • flat spots on full-complement followers during short-stroke oscillation
  • seal destruction and grease loss above the limiting speed on PP/2RS executions
  • edge loading after the crowned profile bottoms out against a badly skewed cam
  • eccentric-collar slippage when the lock nut is not re-torqued after adjustment
  • lubricant starvation of the stud contact when the relubrication interval is ignored
  • stud-thread damage from hammering or from using the hex socket as a press point

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • The eccentric collar throw is small (typically around 1 mm); it removes clearance, it cannot repair a grossly misplaced bracket.
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the PWKRE90-2RS-XL?

The PWKRE90-2RS-XL is a PWKRE sealed double-row full-complement stud-type track roller with eccentric locking collar with 90 mm outside diameter, 30 mm stud diameter and 100 mm overall length, envelope 30×90×100 mm. Mass is 2.02 kg.

What does the PWKRE90-2RS-XL designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

PWKRE90-2RS-XL identifies this PWKRE sealed double-row full-complement stud-type track roller with eccentric locking collar in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue; the -XL suffix marks the X-life execution. The envelope is 30×90×100 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 62 kN, C0 92 kN, Cur 12.5 kN.

What is the load capacity of the PWKRE90-2RS-XL?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 62 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 92 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 12.5 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 PWKRE90-2RS-XL?

HR1 lists a limiting speed of 1,800 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.

How is a stud-type roller like the PWKRE90-2RS-XL fitted and adjusted?

The 30 mm threaded stud passes through the bracket and is clamped with its nut and washer against a flat face; torque to the catalogue value and support the shank over its full length. The eccentric locking collar is turned to set the track preload, then the nut is re-torqued. The 90 mm outer ring then runs directly on the cam.
