All SKF standard bearings have a characteristic basic designation, which generally
consists of 3, 4 or 5 figures, or a combination of letters and figures. The design of the
system used for almost all standard ball and roller bearing types is shown schematically in
diagram 1. The figures and combinations of letters and figures have the following
meaning:
the first figure or the first letter or combination of letters identifies the bearing type; the
actual bearing type can be seen from the presentation (diagram 1).
the following two figures identify the ISO Dimension Series; the first figure indicates
the Width or Height Series (dimensions B, T or H respectively) and the second the
Diameter Series (dimension D).
the last two figures of the basic designation give the size code of the bearing; when
multiplied by 5, the bore diameter in millimetres is obtained.
But there is no rule without some exceptions. The most important ones in the bearing
designation system are listed below.
1. In a few cases the figure for the bearing type and/or the first figure of the Dimension
Series identification is omitted. These figures are given in brackets in diagram 1.
2. For bearings having a bore diameter smaller than 10 mm or equal to or greater than
500 mm, the bore diameter is generally given in millimetres and is not coded. The size
identification is separated from the rest of the bearing designation by an oblique stroke,
e.g. 618/8 (d = 8 mm) or 511/530 (d = 530 mm).
This is also true of
standard bearings
according to ISO 15 that
have bore
diameters of 22, 28 or
32 mm, e.g.
62/22 (d = 22 mm).
3 Bearings with bore diameters of 10, 12, 15 and 17 mm have the following
. size code identifications:
00 = 10 mm
01 = 12 mm
02 = 15 mm
03 = 17 mm
4 For some smaller bearings having a bore diameter below 10 mm, such as
. deep groove, self-aligning and angular contact ball bearings, the bore
diameter is also given in millimetres (uncoded) but is not separated from
the series designation by an oblique stroke, e.g. 629 or 129 (d = 9 mm).
5 Bore diameters which deviate from the standard bore diameter of a bearing
. have always been given uncoded, in millimetres with up to three decimal
places. This bore diameter identification is part of the basic designation and
is separated from the basic designation by an oblique stroke, e.g.
6202/15.875 (d = 15,875 mm).
Series designations
Each standard bearing belongs to a given bearing series, which is identified by the basic
designation without the size identification. Series designations often include a suffix A,
B, C, D or E or a combination of these letters e.g. CA. These are used to identify
differences in internal design, e.g. contact angle.
The most common series designations are shown in diagram 1 above the bearing
sketches. The figures in brackets are not included in the series designation.
The basic designation of special bearings is usually the number of the drawing of the
bearing. These Drawing Numbers are usually 6 or 7-figure numbers and do not generally
give any indication of the bearing type, size or design.
Bearings, the design of which has been modified from the original design, often have a
suffix A to E or a combination of these letters, e.g. AB, added to the original Drawing
No. The meaning of these suffixes is specific to the actual bearing and reference must be
made to the actual drawing.
More recently, Drawing Numbers have been prefixed by Bxxx, where B stands for
bearing and the other three positions identify the bearing type. In some cases the fourth
letter is omitted. Even more recently four figure numbers preceded by a prefix identifying
the bearing type and separated from it by a hyphen, e.g. BB1-3001 have been introduced
instead of the 6 or 7-figure Drawing Numbers.

Suffixes are used to identify designs or variants which differ in some way from the original design, or
which differ from the current standard design. The suffixes are divided into groups and when more than
one special feature is to be identified; suffixes are given in the order shown in the scheme in fig 11.
The most commonly used suffixes are listed in the following. Note that not all variants are available.
Designations - Supplementary designations - Suffixes A - B
A
Deviating or modified internal design with same boundary dimensions. As a rule the
significance of the letter is bound to the particular bearing or bearing series.

Two single row deep groove ball bearings (1), single row
angular contact ball bearings (2) or single row taper roller
bearings matched for mounting in a back-to-back
arrangement; the letter(s) following the DB indicate the
magnitude of the axial internal clearance or preload in the
bearing pair before mounting; for paired taper roller bearings
the design and arrangement of the intermediate rings between
the inner and/or outer rings are identified by a two-figure
number which is placed between DB and the following letters.
