H■Structure and FeaturesIKO Inner Rings are heat-treated and finished by grinding to a high degree of accuracy. In the case of needle roller bearings, normally, the shafts are heat-treated and finished by grinding, and used as the raceway surfaces. However, when it is impossible to make shaft surfaces according to the specified sur-face hardness or surface roughness, inner rings are used.Inner rings include those for Shell Type Needle Roller Bearings and those for general use and are available in a variety of dimensions. When shafts move axially or seals are used adjacent to bearings, wide inner rings can be selected.Inner rings can also be used economically as bush-ings without requiring any additional machining.■TypesFor Inner Rings, the types shown in Table 1 are avail-able.
