A cam follower from the NTN KRV line combines a cylindrical roller bearing with a built-in stud, so it can carry radial loads and transfer motion straight onto a cam profile or raceway. Maintenance and purchasing teams specify it for cam drives, linear guides and conveying equipment where repeatable positioning matters.

Reading the code helps narrow down the variant. KRV is the series identifier, and the digits that come after it give the roller outside diameter in millimeters, so KRV16FXLL/3AS has a roller measuring 16 mm across. The trailing characters describe execution details: FXLL stands for a double-lip seal of special design, while /3AS refers to grease lubrication suited to demanding duty.

Typical installations include machine tools, packaging lines, material handling equipment, presses and automotive production, as well as agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters and seeders, where dust and vibration are part of daily operation. Because the stud design copes with radial loads and tilting moments, these cam followers suit cam mechanisms and raceways in equipment that runs continuously.

Selection comes down to three points: the outside diameter you need, the sealing arrangement, and the lubrication conditions of the application. Versions carrying the FXLL suffix add protection where contaminants, dust or moisture are present. Fit the stud into a shaft with the correct tolerance and check alignment so that axial loads stay within limits; regreasing at intervals with the recommended grease supports service life. Our team can assist with the technical side if needed.

Interchange with cam followers from other manufacturers is possible when the main dimensions and the sealing type line up. Compare outside diameter, width and stud diameter, and review the load and speed conditions of the application before substituting. If the equivalence is unclear, send us the original part number and we will help identify a suitable option.
