Notes

  • An IR (SKF, INA) or LRT (Koyo, IKO) ring is the hardened inner ring that goes with an NK or RNA needle bearing when the shaft itself is not hardened and ground. The bearing designation IR d x F x B reads bore, raceway diameter, width; F equals the Fw of the bearing it pairs with (an IR 12x15x16 runs with a bearing of Fw 15).
  • Numbers: the SKF IR designations as listed on the Acorn Industrial Services parts list (the designation itself carries d, F and B) and the first LRT rows of Koyo's inner-ring table (d, F, B in separate columns). IR 5x8x12 and LRT 5812 are the same size in the two makers. Partial: this is the set of rings read, not the full catalogue. The chamfer r min of the rings is not in the lists read, so there are no files.
  • Left out: the full IR range (Acorn lists 143 SKF rings in 8 pages; only the designations read are shown), the ring chamfers, oil-hole versions, LRTZ, JR / EG / ER (INA) numbers, rings above 140 mm.

Questions

What are the dimensions of an IR 12x15x16 inner ring?

Bore 12, raceway diameter 15, width 16 mm; it runs with an NK 15/16 style bearing (Fw 15).

What do the numbers in IR 20x25x26.5 mean?

Bore 20 mm, raceway (F) 25 mm, width 26.5 mm.

Is IR 5x8x12 the same as LRT 5812?

Yes: bore 5, F 8, width 12 mm in SKF and Koyo.

Which inner ring fits an NK 10/16 bearing?

One with F = 10 mm, e.g. Koyo LRT 71016 (bore 7, F 10, width 16); only the rings in the table were read, so check the maker's list for other widths.

Do I need an inner ring for an NK bearing?

Only if the shaft is not hardened and ground to the Fw tolerance; otherwise the needles can run directly on the shaft.
