TORRINGTON BH 2012 Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing - 1-1/4" Bore - Heavy Duty Inch Series
The TORRINGTON BH 2012 is a heavy-duty drawn cup needle roller bearing engineered for applications requiring high load capacity within minimal radial space. Featuring a thin, case-hardened steel outer ring (the cup) that serves as the raceway, this design is ideally suited for bore applications where the housing cannot be economically used as a bearing raceway. The BH 2012 utilizes a full complement of precision-ground, high-carbon steel rollers and is optimized for both rotating and oscillating motion. Its inherent design allows for significant power density, offering superior performance in space-constrained assemblies while maintaining the legendary reliability associated with the TORRINGTON brand heritage.
Installation is straightforward and economical, relying on a simple press fit into the housing, which eliminates the need for expensive snap rings or axial locating devices. Commonly employed in industrial gearboxes, universal joints, power tools, hydraulic pumps, and automotive transmissions, the BH 2012 excels under intermittent high loads and moderate speeds. This specific component (1.250" bore) is essential for engineers aiming to reduce overall system size and weight without compromising performance, ensuring long service life and reduced maintenance requirements.
