The NTN KRV series is a stud-type cam follower: a roller bearing built with its own integral stud. The stud stays fixed to the machine frame while the outer raceway turns against the cam, guide or track it runs on, so motion is transferred with minimal friction in actuating and positioning mechanisms. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the right reference to your application.

Reading a KRV code is straightforward once you know the blocks. The letters mark the stud-type cam follower family, the figure that follows gives the roller's outside diameter, and the suffixes describe the raceway form together with the sealing arrangement. Take KRV16F/3AS, KRV19F/3AS, KRV22F/3AS and KRV26F/3AS: here the F stands for a cylindrical outer raceway, while /3AS covers the seal and how the unit is mounted. With those three blocks you can pinpoint any reference in the series.

Typical installations include actuation cams, linear guides, conveyors, packaging machinery, cutting equipment and positioning mechanisms. The outer raceway has to roll accurately on a hardened surface that is properly aligned, so shaft and track condition matter as much as the roller itself.

Selection comes down to four points: roller outside diameter, stud diameter and length, raceway type (cylindrical or crowned) and sealing. The /3AS suffix sets the level of protection against contaminants, which deserves a second look in areas with dust or chips. During mounting, keep the stud axis aligned with the rolling track, set preload according to the load, lubricate correctly and avoid impacts that could mark the raceway.

Cross-brand interchange is handled through dimensions and configuration. A cam follower from another manufacturer with the same outside diameter, stud diameter and raceway type can generally be swapped in, though tolerances and sealing should be compared first. If you only have another brand's code or an unmarked part, our team can identify the compatible alternative and quote it.

The fastest way to get a quote is to send the full code, for example KRV22F/3AS, or the roller dimensions you need through WhatsApp or email. We reply promptly and can point you to the variant that best fits your mechanism.
