INNER RINGS, are heat-treated then ground to a high precision finish. Normally, in the case of needle roller bearings, the shaft is heat-treated then ground and used as the raceway surface, but when the surface can not be manufactured to the prescribed hardness, theses inner rings are used. Inner rings come in many varieties, so when the shaft moves in the axial direction, or when the seals are required on both sides of the bearing, a wider inner ring can be selected. As there is a little tapered chamfer or a small chamfer on both ends of the inner ring raceway surface, even if the inner and outer rings are mounted to the shaft and housing separately, the assembling of them is simple. these inner rings can also be used as bushings without additional works, so they are very economical.

SEALS FOR NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS, have a low sectional height and consist of a sheet metal ring and a special synthetic rubber. As theses seals are manufactured to the same sectional height to IKO NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS, by fitting them directly to the sides of combinable bearings, grease leakages and the penetration of foreign particles can be effectively prevented. When fitting seals to needle roller bearings with inner rings, wider inner rings. As for teh CIR-CLIPS FOR NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS which have been specially designed for needle roller bearings on which in many cases, normal cir-clips can not be used, they have a low sectional height and are very rigid, they are made of spring steel and are phosphate-treated, there are cri-clips for shafts and for bores, and they are used for positioning to prevent bearings movement in the axial direction. As for the NEEDLE ROLLERS, they are High carbon chromium bearings steel is used for IKO NEEDLE ROLLERS, they are rigid and highly accurate and are finished to a hardness of HrC 60 to 66 and a surface roughness of less than Rmax 0.4, these needle rollers are widely used for rolling elements for bearings, as well as for pins and shafts.
