BRZB Quality Assurance System

The method of bearing designation for miniature ball bearings typically consists of three parts: prefix, basic code, and suffix. Here’s an explanation of the designation method used by BRZB:

  • Suffix:

    Ring & Ball Material:

    1.-: No code, CNS GCr15/SAE52100/SUJ2 or equivalent bearing steel.

    2.S: AISI 440C/CNS440/CNS420.

    3.SE: Outer/Inner ring: AISI 440C/CNS440/CNS420.
    Ball: Ceramic

    4.CE: Outer/Inner ring: CNS GCr15/SAE52100/SUJ2 or equivalent bearing steel.
    Ball: Ceramic

    Series:

    ·Metric:

    1.R-(RF-) R-Series (Flanged)

    2.L-(LF-) L-Series (Flanged)

    3.A- Ultra Thin Type

    4.RNR- R-Series with External Retaining Ring

    5.LNR- L-Series with External Retaining Ring

    ·Inch Radial Ball Bearing:

    6.RI- Inch Type

    7.RIF- Inch Flanged Type

    Basic Code:

    The basic code follows the same format as other bearings. It consists of a type of code at the beginning, followed by size (width series), and then the inner diameter series.

  • Suffix:

    Cage Codes:

    ·-: No symbol, full ball complement.

    ·C: Crown-type stainless steel.

    ·M: phenolic.

    ·MC: one-piece snap-type phenolic.

    ·R: Ribbon-type stainless steel.

    Seal Codes:

    ·-: No code, open type.

    ·RS: Non-contact rubber seal.

    ·RZ: Contact rubber seal.

    ·T: Stainless shield.

    ·Z: metallic shield.

    Accuracy Level:

    ·5: ABEC5, ISO class 5.

    ·7: ABEC7, ISO class 4.

    Radial Play:

    ·P: followed by numbers indicates radial play range in ten-thousandths of an inch.

    Example:

    ·P13: .0001” ~ .0003” (2.5µm ~ 7.5µm)

    ·P24: .0002” ~ .0004” (5.0µm ~ 10.0µm)

    Lubrication:

    ·LD: No lubrication or dry bearing.

    ·LO: Followed by a number indicates specified oil lubricant.

    ·LG: Followed by a number indicates specified grease lubricant.

    Vibration Level Codes:

    ·Z1, Z2, Z3: Acceleration vibration levels.

    ·V1, V2, V3: Velocity vibration levels.

    Please note that bearing designation methods may vary from country to country, and the above explanation is specific to the BRZB designation method for miniature ball bearings.
