Cam followers in the NTN KR FXDOH line combine a stud and a roller bearing in one unit, so the assembly can run against a cam profile or along a guide rail. The stud carries the mounting load while the outer ring rolls on the track, handling radial forces and the shocks that come with the motion. Typical installations include cam drives, conveyor runs, machine tool slides and automated equipment.
Reading the code helps you order the right part. KR signals a stud-type cam follower. The figure after it, such as 16 in KR16FXDOH/L588 or 19 in KR19FXDOH/L588, gives the roller outside diameter in millimeters. FXDOH covers the seal arrangement, stud configuration and lubrication details, while /L588 points to a defined lubricant or treatment. Quote the full code when you contact us.
You will find these rollers working in packaging guides, chain conveyors, presses and general automation, as well as in cam actuation. Their job is to carry motion from a cam or to support a moving element on a rail, absorbing radial load and tilt. Industries such as food processing, automotive and metalworking rely on them for that purpose.
When specifying, check outer diameter, roller width, stud diameter, seal type and internal clearance against the space you have. During installation, line the stud up with the raceway and tighten to the recommended torque. Choose a lubricant that suits the seal and the operating temperature and speed, and where side loads appear, confirm the support is rigid enough.
NTN cam followers can be matched to other makes that use the same dimensional system, provided outer diameter, width, stud diameter and seal type line up. If you only have another brand's number or a part you cannot identify, send it over by WhatsApp or email and we will point you to the equivalent. Exact sizes can be quoted as well.

Frequently asked questions
- How is the KR FXDOH code broken down?
- KR stands for cam follower with stud. The number after it is the outer diameter in millimeters. FXDOH refers to sealing, stud shape and lubrication characteristics, and /L588 identifies a specific lubricant or treatment.
- What should I check before selecting a cam follower?
- Confirm the radial load, speed, and the outer diameter and width the housing allows. Then look at seal type and internal clearance for your environment. Stud alignment and lubrication have a direct effect on service life.
- Can an NTN cam follower replace one from another brand?
- It can when outer diameter, width, stud diameter and seal type are the same, since interchangeability follows standardized dimensions. If you are unsure, send us the original code and we will identify the equivalent.
