Loads

Dynamic loads	As track rollers are not supported in a housing, the outer rings deform, leading to an altered load distribution and bending stresses in the outer ring. The basic load ratings listed in the product table take into account the altered load distribution, while the maximum permissible radial loads F_{r max} (→ product table) are based on the bending stresses.
Static loads	Permissible static load is the lower value of F_0r max or C₀ (→ product table). Where requirements for smooth running are below normal, the static load may exceed C₀, but should never exceed the maximum permissible static radial load F_0r max.
Axial loads	Cam followers are intended for radial loads. However, their flange rings enable cam followers to accommodate axial loads that can occur because of skew or tilting. The magnitude of permissible load depends on the internal design.
