How the RSTO6-TV model number is decoded

envelope 10×19×9.8 mm: the 19 mm outside diameter is the track-running surface — a thick-walled outer ring over a 10 mm bore — and the 9.8 mm width sets the contact width on the mating track the catalogue lists C 3.75 kN and C0 4.6 kN for the RSTO yoke-type track roller without inner ring, without axial guidance; the C/C0 ratio of 0.82 reflects a rolling-element pack sized for heavy static track loading, and the 4.5 mm radial section gives the outer ring its bending stiffness fatigue load limit Cur is 0.66 kN at 10 mm bore, equivalent to 0.38 kN of dynamic rating per millimetre — the limiting speed is 10,000 r/min and, as for HR1 track rollers, no thermal reference speed is published the 10 mm bore takes the mounting pin or shaft; across the 9.8 mm contact width the dynamic rating works out to 0.38 kN per millimetre of rolling-element complement mass is 12.5 g, or 0.07 g per mm² of the 19×9.8 mm track envelope — inertia that the drive must accelerate on every index of the cam 10 mm pin bore and only 12.5 g: the smallest sizes demand accurate shaft geometry, because the 4.5 mm section leaves no tolerance for a soft or tapered seat With C 3.75 kN and C0 4.6 kN the roller accepts track loads directly; the 10,000 r/min limiting speed is the only speed figure HR1 publishes for track rollers The thick-walled outer ring is the running element — 19 mm outside diameter over a 10 mm pin seat — and is made to roll flat on a mating track rather than inside a housing Reading -TV: an injection-moulded polyamide cage guides the rolling elements — the lightweight choice that keeps the mass at 12.5 g in the 19 mm envelope. Typical applications include agricultural and textile cam followers, packaging machine timing mechanisms and robotic arm linear axes, where the 19 mm track diameter and 3.75 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In agricultural and textile cam followers the unit fits a compact 10 mm seat, and in packaging machine timing mechanisms the 12.5 g mass keeps follower kinetics light. Designers also specify it for robotic arm linear axes, relying on the 9.8 mm width and the published 4.6 kN static rating. Flangeless STO/RSTO/RNA22/NA22 rollers need external axial location; circlips or shoulders must control end float or the roller walks off the track. Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • printing press sheet-transfer grippers
  • automotive welding jig rollers
  • cam drives and indexing tables
  • woodworking machine feed tracks

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

  • Flangeless STO/RSTO/RNA22/NA22 rollers need external axial location; circlips or shoulders must control end float or the roller walks off the track.
  • Sealed PP/2RSR units are greased for life: never add a grease nipple, and respect the lower limiting speed imposed by the rubbing lips.
  • Check the mating track hardness and flatness — a soft or scalloped rail fails before the 19 mm outer ring does.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the RSTO6-TV?

The RSTO6-TV is a RSTO yoke-type track roller without inner ring, without axial guidance with 19 mm outside diameter, 10 mm bore and 9.8 mm width, envelope 10×19×9.8 mm. Mass is 12.5 g.

What does the RSTO6-TV designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

RSTO6-TV identifies this RSTO yoke-type track roller without inner ring, without axial guidance in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 10×19×9.8 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 3.75 kN, C0 4.6 kN, Cur 0.66 kN.

What is the load capacity of the RSTO6-TV?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 3.75 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 4.6 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 0.66 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 RSTO6-TV?

HR1 lists a limiting speed of 10,000 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 RSTO6-TV?

The track should be flat, harder than the roller contact and clean; the crowned 19 mm outer surface tolerates only small angular error. The 10 mm pin must be hardened to 58–64 HRC and ground like a raceway; lateral guidance comes from the adjacent structure on flangeless executions.
