Bearing Specifications Guide

This document summarizes common suffixes used for bearings. It explains that suffixes indicate attributes like bearing size, material variations, matched sets, sealing options, and more. Suffixes like /1 signify inch size tolerances while 0 indicates parts made of non-standard materials. The document is a reference for interpreting suffix codes on bearing part numbers and specifications.
