How the PWTR-30-2RS model number is decoded
the 62 mm outside diameter runs on the track while the 30 mm bore takes the pin or shaft; the 29 mm overall width spreads the Hertzian contact over the outer ring published ratings C 31.9 kN and C0 32.5 kN already include the bending-stress correction for the unsupported outer ring — the C/C0 ratio of 0.98 is typical for sealed double-row full-complement support roller with integral flanges executions fatigue load limit Pu 4.05 kN at 30 mm bore gives a specific load of 1.06 kN per mm; the limiting speed is 2,600 r/min the 29 mm width carries the load at 1.10 kN per mm of roller complement; section height 16.0 mm between bore and track surface determines the outer-ring bending stiffness mass 470 g over a 62x29 mm envelope works out to 0.261 g per mm² of projected area — a useful figure when sizing the drive inertia for medium-speed cam duty the 30 mm bore places this in the medium band, where cylindrical-roller full-complement designs become available for heavier radial loads the PWTR..2RS execution combines the maximum load capacity of the double-row full complement with integral sealing — the heaviest and most protected option in the support roller range typical applications include automatic assembly machine linkages, food processing line track rollers and printing press roller followers this size is commonly specified for automatic assembly machine linkages and food processing line track rollers, where the 62 mm track diameter and 30 mm bore fit standard cam and rail geometries in printing press roller followers the 62 mm outer ring provides the rolling contact while the inner ring bore simplifies mounting; the 470 g mass is low enough for rapid indexing cycles the integral flanges and seals add width; verify the track channel accommodates the full B dimension plus flange protrusion sealed full-complement rollers are the heaviest option — check that the drive can accelerate the mass at the required cam rate
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- robotic arm track guidance
- automatic assembly machine linkages
- paper mill web guide rollers
- food processing line track rollers
Known failure patterns
- the 2RS seals protect the roller rows but limit relubrication options; the unit is effectively sealed for life
- the integral flanges and seals add width; verify the track channel accommodates the full B dimension plus flange protrusion
- sealed full-complement rollers are the heaviest option — check that the drive can accelerate the mass at the required cam rate
- the sealed twin-row construction is the heaviest support roller option — verify the drive torque can accelerate the roller at the required cam profile rate
- the 2RS seals limit relubrication; the grease fill must last the design life of the cam mechanism
- the sealed outer ring cannot be inspected without destroying the seals; plan replacement on a time or cycle basis rather than condition monitoring

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the PWTR-30.2RS?
PWTR-30.2RS is a sealed double-row full-complement support roller with integral flanges with 62 mm outside diameter, 30 mm bore diameter and 29 mm overall width. The bore is 30 mm and the track contact diameter is 62 mm.
What does the PWTR designation mean?
The PWTR prefix identifies this as a sealed double-row full-complement support roller with integral flanges. In the SKF catalogue this designation carries the full specification including the 62x30x29 mm envelope and the 2600 r/min limiting speed.
What is the load capacity of PWTR-30.2RS?
The published basic dynamic load rating C is 31.9 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 32.5 kN. These values already include the bending-stress correction for the thick-walled outer ring running on a track.
