The SKF RSTO series is a line of cam followers and support rollers built as cylindrical roller bearings without an inner ring or cage. They are made to carry heavy radial loads where movement is primarily radial, and they are commonly found in cams, linear guides, conveyors and lifting equipment. The compact envelope and high rigidity make them a practical choice for industrial machines that need precise, stable contact.
Reading the RSTO code is straightforward: the letters denote the series, and the number gives the bore diameter in millimeters. So RSTO 10 takes a 10 mm bore, RSTO 12 a 12 mm bore, and RSTO 17 a 17 mm bore. That makes it easy to match the roller to the shaft or pin it will run on. The design uses a full complement of rollers without a cage, which is what gives it high radial capacity and stiffness.
These rollers show up in many industries, including food processing, metallurgy, cement and logistics. Typical positions are drive cams, guide support rollers on machine tools, belt and roller conveyors, and lifting or positioning systems. Because they handle radial loads well, they suit applications that call for accurate, durable rolling motion.
When choosing an RSTO roller, look at the radial load, the speed and the surrounding conditions. Check that the shaft is aligned and the contact surface is in good shape so that unexpected axial loads do not appear. Grease or oil lubrication, applied correctly, helps extend service life. In dirty environments, consider extra sealing or protection. Mount carefully to avoid damaging the rollers or raceways.
Equivalent cam followers and support rollers from other makers can often be used if the main dimensions and load capacity line up. The SKF RSTO series has counterparts in other brands, but always confirm tolerances and internal design. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF as part of its bearing range and can help you pick the right option for your application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the RSTO 12 designation mean?
- RSTO identifies the cam follower and support roller series without a cage. The number 12 is the bore diameter in millimeters, so an RSTO 12 has a 12 mm bore, which simplifies matching to the shaft.
- Does this roller withstand axial loads?
- No, the RSTO design is intended for radial loads. Axial loads should be avoided or handled by other components. For combined loads, consult our technical team to review alternatives.
- How should I lubricate an RSTO roller?
- Lubrication can be with grease or oil, depending on speed and temperature. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and maintain an adequate lubricant film to prevent premature wear.
