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
