Cam followers in the SKF NATR series work as support and guide rollers in cam drives, linear motion setups and other rolling arrangements. They handle radial loads and keep motion steady at moderate speeds, which suits equipment where accuracy and long service matter. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series and helps you match the right unit to your machine.
Reading the code is the fastest way to narrow down a selection. NATR tells you the unit is a cam follower with a plastic cage and a cylindrical outside surface. The digits after it give the outside diameter in millimeters, so NATR 6, NATR 12, NATR 15 and NATR 17 cover a range of sizes. Confirm the exact figures on the drawing before you install anything.
Typical installations include machine tools, packaging lines, conveyors, presses and general cam arrangements, as well as automotive, food and metalworking plants. The design carries high radial loads and takes a limited axial load in one direction, so it fits a variety of assemblies. Smooth, dependable rolling is the goal in all of them.
When choosing a size, look at the stud or shaft diameter, the outside diameter you need and the total width. Lubrication matters, with grease or oil depending on the setup, and the sealing should keep contaminants away from the rolling elements. The bearing has to line up accurately with the raceway, and assembly should be free of impacts that could harm the rollers or the cage.
Other makers offer cam followers with the same designation and standardized dimensions, so a cross can often be found. Tolerances and load ratings are not always identical between brands, so it pays to check them. Our team can review your application and point you to a suitable option.

Frequently asked questions
- What does NATR mean in an SKF cam follower?
- The letters identify a cam follower roller bearing with a plastic cage and a cylindrical outer surface. The number after them is the outside diameter in millimeters, so NATR 12 measures 12 mm across the outside.
- Where do NATR series cam followers get used?
- They appear in cam mechanisms, linear guides, conveyors, machine tools and packaging equipment, and in automotive, food and metallurgical plants. Their job is to carry radial loads and keep rolling smooth and precise.
- How do I mount one correctly?
- Check that the shaft and housing are clean and free of burrs, lubricate before assembly and avoid impacts that could damage the rollers. Keep the alignment with the raceway accurate and follow the recommended tightening torque. Ask us if anything is unclear.
