Why is there a 'double wall' on my Axle?

The 50mm axle on my Biland snapped a few weeks back and I am sourcing a replacement.

When I took the old one out, I noticed that inside the axle where the sprocket attaches, there is a 'liner' in the form of a 6" (approx) length of tube stuffed up inside.

It lines up perfectly with the key holes (and the inner tube has holes drilled too), but is not actually fixed in place.

Does anyone know what this is for? Does it add extra strength? Is it needed for a Biland?

Jon
