Koyo JR50X60X25 needle roller bearing inner ring, 50 x 60 x 25 mm

These Koyo JR inner rings are metric series inner rings made from rolling bearing steel, with the bore, raceway and end surfaces ground after hardening. An inner ring works as the inner raceway for a needle roller bearing, giving a surface that meets the hardness, surface finish and roundness requirements when it is not practical to make the shaft to raceway quality.

Metric series inner rings can be used with metric series radial needle roller and cage assemblies, metric series needle roller bearings and metric series drawn cup needle roller bearings. The JR series is for use with caged metric needle roller bearings, and it has mounting chamfers at the ends of the raceway surface.

The range has 12 sizes with bore diameters from 7 to 50 mm. Koyo bearings are made by JTEKT Corporation.

Key specifications

Available sizes

Selecting the right option

Choose the ring from the shaft (bore diameter d), the raceway diameter the bearing needs (outside diameter F, which should match the roller complement bore diameter Fw of the needle roller bearing) and the width B. Extended (wider) inner rings suit bearings with lip contact seals and applications where axial movement may be present.

The designation shows the sizes directly: for example JR12x15x16 has a 12 mm bore, a 15 mm outside diameter and a 16 mm width.

Fitting and use

An inner ring may be mounted on the shaft with a loose transition fit or an interference fit. These fits, with the correct fit of the bearing outer ring, give the correct operating clearance for most applications. Whatever the fit, locate the inner ring axially with shaft shoulders or other positive means, and keep the shaft shoulder diameter next to the ring no larger than the ring outside diameter.

For use with Koyo heavy-duty needle roller bearings, select the shaft tolerance from the heavy-duty needle roller bearing mounting table: g6 where the load rotates relative to the housing, and k6, m6 or n6 by shaft diameter where the load is stationary relative to the housing. For use with drawn cup bearings, follow the shaft tolerances given for inner rings in the drawn cup section of the Koyo catalogue.
