Tolerances

The tolerances of the boundary dimensions and rotational accuracy are defined in accordance with international standards:

  • DIN 620 and ISO 492 for metric bearings series 60XX and self-aligning bearings 12XX/13XX/22XX.
  • AFBMA for inch bearings series R.
  • BS292 for inch bearings series KLNJ and RLS.

WIB ball bearings are manufactured according to the tolerance class DIN P0, P6, P5, and P4 specifications. The precision class of the balls is grade 5 or better.

Certain applications call for special tolerancing to ensure optimal performance, which WIB is accustomed to accommodating. Dimensions that fall outside international standard will be identified with a PA designation, which appears in the descriptions and drawings. Special PA tolerances may be combined with standard tolerances when one or more tolerances are not referenced in the standards. These tolerances are shown on the bearing drawings as well. This is primarily used for bearings with profiles. For example: P0/PA
