The SKF RSTO TN series includes cam followers and support rollers built for high radial loads in industrial machinery. These cylindrical roller bearings operate without an inner cage, with the shaft itself serving as the raceway, which simplifies mounting and provides a compact, rigid solution for cams, linear guides, and transmission systems.
SKF's RSTO designation identifies support rollers without an inner cage. The 'R' stands for roller, 'STO' indicates the dimension series, and 'TN' refers to a specific cage type or surface treatment. The number in the center of the designation—such as RSTO 5 TN, RSTO 6 TN, or RSTO 8 TN—corresponds to the roller size, helping you match the roller to your shaft diameter.
These rollers handle radial loads in both directions and are common in metallurgy, food processing, textiles, and packaging. They are found in machine tool cams, conveyor belt guiding systems, presses, and automation equipment. Their design absorbs radial loads and moderate tilting moments, making them suitable for tight spaces where precise rolling and minimal maintenance are required.
When selecting an RSTO TN roller, consider shaft diameter, radial load, and lubrication. Proper alignment between the roller and raceway is essential, as is adequate lubrication to avoid premature wear. Because there is no inner cage, the shaft must have appropriate hardness and surface finish to act as the raceway. Mounting should be done carefully, ensuring the roller turns smoothly without excessive play.
For replacement, rollers from other manufacturers that follow the same designation and dimensions may be interchangeable, but tolerances and surface treatments can vary. Always check the original manufacturer's specifications.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TN suffix mean in SKF RSTO rollers?
- The TN suffix indicates a specific feature such as the cage type or surface treatment. For exact details, consult the manufacturer's data sheet or contact MR Industrial Accessories LLC.
- What is the difference between a cam follower and a support roller?
- A cam follower is mounted on a shaft and follows a cam profile, while a support roller acts as a rolling bearing in linear guides. Both handle radial loads, but their application and mounting differ based on equipment design.
- How do I choose the right RSTO TN roller for my machine?
- Consider shaft diameter, radial load, speed, and environment. Ensure the shaft has the necessary hardness and roughness. If unsure, send your application details via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories LLC for assistance.
