Suffix

Whether ball bearings, deep groove ball bearings or housing bearings - many rolling bearings are defined in more detail by suffixes. These designations are standardized in accordance with DIN 623 and are used for the uniform classification and description of rolling bearings to enable clear identification and selection. We have compiled the lists to the best of our knowledge in order to provide our customers with a reliable guide.
Nevertheless, we would like to point out that the availability and specifications of rolling bearings may change over time. We cannot guarantee that the information is up-to-date, correct and complete. It is the responsibility of the user to check the information and, if necessary, to obtain up-to-date data directly from the manufacturer or an authorized dealer to ensure that the required bearings meet the requirements and standards.
