Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings

Grade, hardness, corrosion behavior, service temperature and the full bore range for this material.

Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings are made from 20CrMnTi (GB/T 3077), of the same class as 20MnCr5 and SAE 8620 — carburized to a hard case over a tough, unhardened core. Corrosion behavior: none of its own; protected in service exactly as through-hardened bearing steel is. The material is magnetic, and the usable service range is similar to through-hardened rings — about +120 °C without special stabilization. In practice this material is chosen for shock loading and for heavy ring sections, where a tough core resists the cracking a fully through-hardened section would not survive.

Property figures are typical for the material. In an assembled bearing the lubricant, the seals and the cage frequently reach their limits before the material does, so check all four against the duty. Material certification is available on request for production orders.

Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings: Chosen for shock loading and for heavy ring sections, where a tough core resists the cracking a fully through-hardened section would not survive. The material decides the corrosion behavior — none of its own; protected in service exactly as through-hardened bearing steel is and the temperature the part will stand (similar to through-hardened rings — about +120 °C without special stabilization), and it is the reason the alternatives below exist. Properties, limits and the full size table follow.

Why Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi for HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings

Chosen for shock loading and for heavy ring sections, where a tough core resists the cracking a fully through-hardened section would not survive. In a hk-2rs series sealed drawn cup needle roller bearings it is the steel of the rings and, in most designs, of the rolling elements.

Carburizing puts the hardness where the rolling contact is and leaves the core tough, so the ring can absorb shock and heavy section stresses that would crack a through-hardened ring. It is the usual choice for large roller bearing rings and for anything that gets hit rather than merely loaded.

Service Limits

The case has a depth, and that depth is a design limit: load high enough and the maximum shear stress moves below the hardened case into the softer core, where the surface then collapses. That is why case depth is specified against the rolling element size and the load, and why a case-hardened ring is not simply a tougher version of a through-hardened one.

Alternatives and When to Switch

Through-hardened GCr15 is the alternative and the default: it is used wherever the section is modest and the load is steady, which is most of the catalog. Case-hardened rings earn their place under shock and in large sections.

Every ring is gauged for bore and outside diameter, every assembly for radial internal clearance to ISO 5753-1, and every finished bearing for vibration. That is why the values on this page are quotable rather than indicative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a standard bearing run above 120 °C?

Not without being ordered for it. Standard rings are heat stabilized for use to about +120 °C; above that they grow and lose their fit unless a stabilized version is specified. The grease, the seals and a polymer cage usually reach their limits at or below that temperature too.

Are Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings magnetic?

Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi is magnetic.

What temperature can Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi HK-2RS Series Sealed Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings run at?

The usable range for the material is similar to through-hardened rings — about +120 °C without special stabilization. In an assembled bearing the lubricant, the seals and the cage frequently give out before the material does, so check all four against the duty.

What corrosion resistance does Case-Hardened 20CrMnTi give?

Corrosion behavior: none of its own; protected in service exactly as through-hardened bearing steel is.
