The NTN KRT series is a cam follower that combines a cylindrical roller bearing with a threaded stud. It mounts directly onto a shaft and uses its outer raceway as a support roller, making it suitable for cam motion and linear guidance where radial loads are present. The design is compact and fits into tight spaces in industrial machinery.

The part number follows a simple pattern: KRT plus a two-digit number that gives the outside diameter of the roller in millimeters, and the suffix X for a version with a steel cage and seal. For instance, KRT16X has a 16 mm outside diameter, KRT22X has 22 mm, and so on. The X does not affect the main dimensions, but it does determine sealing and lubrication features. This makes it easy to identify the size and configuration from the code alone.

These cam followers are common in cam and guide systems on machine tools, in conveyors and packaging lines, in presses and stamping equipment, and in lifting and positioning mechanisms. They also appear in automotive assembly lines and material handling equipment. Their ability to take radial loads and their compact size suit applications where space is limited and precise rolling motion is needed.

When selecting a KRT cam follower, consider the required outside diameter, the load type (mainly radial), the speed, and the environment. The integrated seal keeps contaminants out and lubricant in, so check that the seal type matches the working conditions. Mounting is done on a shaft with the corresponding thread; correct alignment helps avoid unwanted axial loads. Lubrication may be permanent or require relubrication depending on the application. Always refer to the technical specifications for each size.

Cam followers from different manufacturers can differ in dimensions and load capacities. Even though the NTN KRT series follows international standards, it is wise to verify exact dimensions and operating conditions before substituting one brand for another. MR Industrial Accessories can advise on compatibility with other brands and series and suggest the best alternative for your equipment. Providing the full part number and working conditions helps ensure an accurate selection.
