Additional code explanations for NSK bearings: The codes for NSK bearings consist of a basic code, a prefix code, and a suffix code. The basic code indicates the inner diameter size and contact angle within the bearing series (including type) ; The prefix code indicates a specific bearing ; A suffix code is a supplementary code added after the basic bearing code when there are changes in the bearing’s structural shape, dimensions, material, sealing, cage, tolerances, clearance, heat treatment, lubrication, or technical requirements. We have discussed NSK’s suffix codes before; today we will give a brief explanation of the prefix codes and basic codes for NSK bearings.
