The SKF STO XTN series is a cam follower and support roller built with a thick-walled outer ring, intended for cam tracks, linear guides, and similar load-bearing applications. It mounts directly on a shaft and rolls against a mating surface, handling high radial forces and impact loads. The series includes multiple size designations, such as STO 6 XTN and STO 8 XTN, each defined by its bore and outer dimensions.
When identifying a roller, the STO prefix denotes a support roller with a cylindrical outer ring and a bore for shaft mounting. The number following STO corresponds to the bore size or a characteristic dimension, while the XTN suffix indicates a variant with specific sealing or lubrication features. For exact dimensions and ratings, consult the manufacturer's data sheets or contact our team with the part number.
These rollers suit machinery in food processing, metalworking, mining, and material handling. Typical uses include cam mechanisms, conveyors, packaging lines, machine tools, and presses, where repetitive motion and challenging conditions—such as dust, moisture, or elevated temperatures—require a robust rolling element.
Selecting the right roller involves evaluating the radial load, speed, lubrication method, and operating environment. The support surface must be ground and aligned to avoid premature wear. If the roller includes integral seals, confirm they match the environment; otherwise, plan for external lubrication. Proper axial retention and radial clearance are essential for reliable service.
Cross-brand interchangeability is not always assured. Cam followers and support rollers from different manufacturers may share similar codes but differ in load capacity, seal design, or heat treatment. When sourcing a replacement, compare technical specifications carefully. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF rollers and can help you verify the correct reference for your equipment.
