Typically bearing codes are comprised of a ‘basic number’ and depending on the bearing they can have supplementary codes at the beginning or the end of the basic number. These are the prefix and suffix codes.

However, this code can become illegible or possibly worn away over time. So, it is important to measure a ball bearing correctly.

Next, measure the outer diameter of the ball bearing. Position the measuring tool on the flat surface and place the outer edges of the caliper or micrometer jaws or anvils against the opposite sides of the bearings outer surface. Ensure the tool is at a right angle to the bearing. Read and record the measurement displayed on the caliper or micrometer. This value represents the outer diameter of the bearing.

For ball bearings with a cylindrical shape, measure the width or thickness of the bearing. Place the bearing on a flat clean surface and align the jaws or anvils of the measuring tool against opposite sides of the bearing. Read and record the measurement displayed on the caliper or micrometer. This value represents the width of the bearing.

Suffixes indicate bearings with additional special characteristics or designs. They are typically used to provide information about how the bearing is sealed. In our example, it’s (2RS) which tells us our bearing is sealed on both sides.

Ball bearings are essential components in many mechanical systems, including vehicles, industrial machinery, and household appliances. They help reduce friction and allow for smooth movement between two surfaces. Selecting the correct ball bearing is vital for various reasons, as it directly affects the performance, efficiency, safety, and potential downtime of a wide range of machines and equipment. To ensure proper functioning, it is important to know the type and size of a ball bearing.

Ball bearings usually have their identification code stamped or lasered on the outside diameter of the bearing itself, using this is the best way to ensure you select the right bearing.

The first digit of the basic number tells you about the type of bearing you have. In our example, it’s (6) So this tells us it’s a Single row deep groove ball bearing.

Important Note that from 20mm and above you would need to times (x) the last 2 digits by 5 to ascertain the bore size for nearly all types of bearing.

Bearings very rarely have a prefix code. However, you may come across one that does. The prefix is used to highlight the parts used by the manufacturer in the design of the bearing. In our example where we have a Prefix of (S) it tells us that the bearing was made using stainless steel. Below are a couple of common examples

The second digit of the basic number tells us what series the bearing is from and is used to signify how tough the bearing is. In our example, it’s (0) Which tells us its extra light toughness.

This guide aims to assist, you the customer in measuring ball bearings accurately to make sure you select the correct bearing for your specific application. Proper measurement is crucial in identifying the appropriate ball bearing size and type, as well as interpreting bearing codes to make an informed choice. Let’s go through the step-by-step process of measuring a ball bearing and understanding bearing codes.

The size of a ball bearing can be determined by measuring its outer diameter (OD), bore size (ID), and width. These measurements are usually expressed in millimetres (mm). Using a calliper or a micrometer, you can accurately measure these dimensions.

It is important to note that different manufacturers can have their own specific Prefix and Suffix codes. Our tables give you some examples of the most common codes. If in doubt please check with the manufacturer of your bearing for exact information.

We have created a list of the most popular sizes to make it quicker and easier for you to identify and purchase the exact ball bearing for your application. Simply click on your size and view our current selection.
