Bearing number

A bearing number is composed of a basic number and a supplementary code, denoting bearing specifications including bearing
type, boundary dimensions, running accuracy, and internal clearance.
Bearing numbers of standard bearings corresponding to JIS B 1512 "rolling bearing boundary dimensions" are prescribed in JIS
B 1513.
As well as these bearing numbers, JTEKT uses supplementary codes other than those provided by JIS.
Among basic numbers, bearing series codes are listed in Table 6-1 Bearing series code, and the composition of bearing
numbers is described in Table 6-2 Bearing number configuration, showing the order of arrangement of the parts.
