The Torrington Company CRHS-20 Cam Follower Bearing

Description:

The Torrington CRHS-20 is a stud-type sealed cam follower bearing with a 1-1/4 inch outside diameter, designed to provide smooth rolling motion and high radial load capacity in track-guided and cam-operated applications. Built with a thick-walled outer ring, precision needle rollers, and a heavy-duty stud, this cam follower is engineered to withstand continuous operation, shock loading, and demanding industrial environments. Its sealed construction helps retain lubricant while protecting against dust, dirt, and moisture, extending bearing service life and reducing maintenance requirements. It is widely used in conveyors, packaging equipment, automation systems, machine tools, material handling equipment, and industrial cam mechanisms. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators rely on this cam follower for equipment replacement, retrofit projects, expansion, and preventive maintenance to maximize machine reliability and minimize downtime.

Applications:

The Torrington CRHS-20 cam follower is designed for applications requiring accurate linear guidance and reliable rolling contact on tracks or cam surfaces. Its stud-mounted design simplifies installation while the sealed bearing construction protects internal rolling elements from contamination in harsh operating environments. Typical applications include conveyor guide rails, indexing equipment, packaging machinery, textile machinery, printing equipment, automation systems, and industrial motion control mechanisms.
