Bearing Number Codes

Rolling bearing part numbers indicate bearing type, dimensions, tolerances, internal construction, and other related specifications. Bearing numbers are comprised of a "basic number" followed by "supplementary codes." The makeup and order of bearing numbers is shown in Table 2.1(Number and code arrangement for deep groove and miniature ball bearings), Table 2.6(for angular contact ball bearings), and Table 2.7(for needle roller bearings). Table 2.1 Number and code arrangement for deep groove and miniature ball bearings Number and code arrangement Supplementary prefix code Basic numbers Dimension series code Special application code Material/heat treatment code Design code Dimensional series code Width/height series code Diameter series code The basic number indicates general information about a bearing, such as its fundamental type, boundary dimensions, series number, bore diameter code and contact angle. These coded series are shown in Table 2.2 and Table 2.3 respectively. The supplementary codes derive from prefixes and suffixes which indicate a bearing's tolerances, internal clearances, and related specifications. These two codes are shown in Table 2.4 and Table 2.5.
