The TORRINGTON B 2212 is a high-performance double-row self-aligning ball bearing engineered for demanding industrial environments where shaft misalignment and high radial loads are common. This bearing series features two rows of balls operating on a common concave spherical outer ring raceway, allowing the B 2212 to accommodate significant static and dynamic angular misalignment without impairing performance or generating harmful internal stress. Constructed from through-hardened, high-carbon chromium steel (typically SAE 52100) and featuring robust pressed steel or machined brass cages, this bearing ensures maximum load distribution, reduced friction, and exceptional operational longevity under vibration and fluctuating speed conditions. It is dimensionally stable and adheres to precise P6 (ABEC-3) tolerances, making it suitable for high-speed operation up to 4,800 RPM (grease lubricated).
Trusted globally for its reliability in heavy machinery, the B 2212 delivers the robust, maintenance-reducing performance associated with the TORRINGTON legacy. Ideal applications include agricultural machinery, textile equipment, paper production, conveyors, and specific industrial pump systems where installation accuracy is difficult to maintain or high shaft deflection is inherent. Choosing the TORRINGTON B 2212 minimizes unplanned downtime and significantly reduces overall operational expenses (OPEX) by providing a superior load rating (Dynamic C: 180 kN) compared to standard single-row equivalents, ensuring your critical processes remain operational even under continuous stress.
