Bearing reference · 34 designations

Identify a bearing from the numbers—or the measurements

Measure the bore, outside diameter and width. The finder compares those dimensions with common miniature 608 plus common 6000, 6200 and 6300 series deep groove ball bearings and gives you the basic designation.

Bore × outside diameter × width

Enter any dimensions you know in millimetres. Exact matches appear first, followed by readings within 0.5 mm. Leave a field blank if the corresponding surface cannot be measured reliably.

What the designation does—and does not tell you

For a standard deep groove ball bearing, the basic designation identifies its dimension series and nominal boundary dimensions. For bore codes from 04 upwards, the last two digits multiplied by five give the bore in millimetres; 00, 01, 02 and 03 are the exceptions at 10, 12, 15 and 17 mm.

It does not completely specify the bearing. Suffixes identify shields, seals, internal clearance, cage and other manufacturer-dependent features. Match the complete marking before ordering, not only the four-digit basic number.

Sources and scope

This first release covers standard boundary dimensions only. It does not publish load ratings, speed limits, tolerances or claim that every closure and clearance variant is interchangeable.
