440 - Precision - Technical

Precision - 440C Stainless and 52100 Chrome Steel

These tables cover ABEC and ISO tolerances for ball bearings.

Abec 1 or ISO P6 gradings apply to all precision bearings in our catalogue made from SAE52100 or 440C Stainless Steel unless otherwise specified.

The section of our bearing part number that specifies the grade is found near the end, preceded by the country of manufacture code. The following list shows most of our country/precision designations.

No designation: Abec 1
grP6: German made ISO P6 precision
jP6: Japanese made ISO P6 precision
uP6: US made ISO P6 precision
gr3: German made Abec 3 precision
j3: Japanese made Abec 3 precision

grP5: German made ISO P5 precision
jP5: Japanese made ISO P5 precision
s5: Swiss made ISO P5 precision
uP5: US made ISO P5 precision
gr5: German made Abec 5 precision

u5: US made Abec 5 precision
gr7: German made Abec 7 Precision
s7: Swiss made Abec 7 Precision
u7: US made ISO Abec 7 Precision

No country of manufacture is specified in the part number of Abec 1 bearings since they are the most common bearings and supplies may be obtained from a number of different countries as required by demand and/or pricing. The majority of our Abec 1 bearings are Japanese manufactured. A manufacture code is printed on the label which can be used to determine the country of manufacture of a particular batch.

Each table covers either inner or outer ring tolerances for a defined size range as specified in the headers. Scroll down to see all tables...
