Product Overview: The IR 12*16*16 Inner Ring
The IR 12*16*16 is a high-precision, hardened inner ring designed specifically for use with Needle Roller Bearings. With a bore diameter of 12mm, an outer diameter of 16mm, and a width of 16mm, this component serves as an ideal raceway for needle rollers in applications where the shaft cannot be hardened and ground to the required specifications. By using this inner ring, you can ensure optimal bearing performance and extend the service life of your machinery, even on standard commercial shafts.
As a key component in compact bearing arrangements, the IR 12*16*16 provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Our Inner Rings are manufactured to strict industry standards to guarantee dimensional accuracy and consistent performance. This component is essential for creating a durable and efficient bearing system in demanding operational environments.
Key Features of the IR 12*16*16 Inner Ring
- Precision Ground Raceway: Features a finely finished outer surface to ensure smooth, low-friction operation for needle rollers.
- Hardened Bearing Steel: Constructed from high-quality, through-hardened steel for maximum durability, wear resistance, and load-carrying capacity.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to industry-standard dimensions (12x16x16mm) for direct interchangeability with other standard inner rings.
- Enables Use on Soft Shafts: Allows for the use of needle roller bearings on shafts that are not hardened, saving on material and machining costs.
- Corrosion Resistance: Treated to resist corrosion, ensuring reliability in various industrial environments.
- Facilitates Axial Displacement: Allows for greater axial movement between the shaft and housing when paired with appropriate needle bearings.
