SKF universally matchable bearings are produced in three different clearance and preload classes each. The classes for bearing sets with clearance are CA - smaller than Normal axial clearance CB - Normal axial clearance (standard) CC - larger than Normal axial clearance. Bearings to clearance class CB are standard, or for some larger bearings class G clearance. The availability of bearings to other clearance classes can be obtained from matrix 1. SKF universally matchable bearings with clearance can be combined in sets of any number of bearings. The classes for bearing sets with preload are GA - light preload (standard) GB - moderate preload GC - heavy preload. Bearings to GA class preload are standard ( matrix 1). Bearings with preload can only be paired in sets of two bearings, in contrast to the SKF universally matchable bearings with clearance, as otherwise the preload would increase. The values for the clearance classes are listed in for the preload classes are listed in table. table and table. The values for more information
