How the PWTR4090-2RS-XL model number is decoded
envelope 40×90×32 mm: the 90 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 40 mm bore — and the 32 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 52 kN and C0 77 kN for the PWTR sealed double-row full-complement yoke-type track roller; the C/C0 ratio of 0.68 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 25.0 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 9.8 kN at 40 mm bore, equivalent to 1.30 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 1,500 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 40 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 32 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 1.63 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 1.129 kg (1129 g), or 0.39 g per mm² of the 90×32 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam 40 mm pin bore marks the medium range: mounting forces and fits become critical, and the 1129 g mass calls for proper induction or press tooling rather than hand fitting At 1129 g the double-row roller has substantial inertia; the cam drive must accelerate that mass, and a misaligned track concentrates load onto one row PWTR is the sealed double-row full-complement yoke roller: two cylindrical roller rows, 2RS contact seals both sides and the profiled (crowned) running surface on the 90 mm outer ring X-life status (-XL) indicates the current Schaeffler premium execution at 40 mm bore; the 77 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 40 mm-bore unit greased for life. Typical applications include packaging machine timing mechanisms, woodworking machine feed tracks and agricultural and textile cam followers, where the 90 mm track diameter and 52 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In packaging machine timing mechanisms the unit fits a compact 40 mm seat, and in woodworking machine feed tracks the 1.129 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for agricultural and textile cam followers, relying on the 32 mm width and the published 77 kN static rating. The crowned outer profile tolerates only small skew; a track that departs by more than the catalogue angle still causes edge loading. Yoke lugs must support the pin on both sides over its full length — single-sided support turns the pin into a cantilever beam.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- automotive welding jig rollers
- packaging machine timing mechanisms
- automatic assembly machine carriages
- linear rail and profile track guidance
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
- The crowned outer profile tolerates only small skew; a track that departs by more than the catalogue angle still causes edge loading.
- Yoke lugs must support the pin on both sides over its full length — single-sided support turns the pin into a cantilever beam.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the PWTR4090-2RS-XL?
The PWTR4090-2RS-XL is a PWTR sealed double-row full-complement yoke-type track roller with 90 mm outside diameter, 40 mm bore and 32 mm width, envelope 40×90×32 mm. Mass is 1.129 kg.
What does the PWTR4090-2RS-XL designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
PWTR4090-2RS-XL identifies this PWTR sealed double-row full-complement yoke-type track roller in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue; the -XL suffix marks the X-life execution. The envelope is 40×90×32 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 52 kN, C0 77 kN, Cur 9.8 kN.
What is the load capacity of the PWTR4090-2RS-XL?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 52 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 77 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 9.8 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 PWTR4090-2RS-XL?
HR1 lists a limiting speed of 1,500 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 PWTR4090-2RS-XL?
The track should be flat, harder than the roller contact and clean; the crowned 90 mm outer surface tolerates only small angular error. The inner ring lets the 40 mm pin run at normal machined tolerance; lateral guidance comes from the adjacent structure on flangeless executions.
