Bearing Class
|
|
Many organizations have developed standards, including the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA), International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). ABEC and RBEC standards are defined by ABMA Standard 20. Similar standards are defined by ISO 492, JIS B1514 and DIN 620. ABEC bearing ratings were established by the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA). There are five classes of bearings in the ABEC rating system - 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The higher the ABEC rating, the tighter the tolerances and the higher the bearing precision. ABEC 1 bearings are designed for use in lower speed and accuracy applications. RBEC bearing ratings were established by the Roller Bearing Engineering Committee (RBEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA). There are five classes of bearings in the RBEC rating system - 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The higher the RBEC rating, the tighter the tolerances and the higher the bearing precision. RBEC ratings apply to cylindrical roller and spherical roller bearings. RBEC 1 bearings are designed for use in lower speed and accuracy applications. Although the specifications may differ slightly, the following equivalency can be made between ABMA, ISO and DIN bearing classes. ANSI Standard 20 / ISO 492 / DIN 620 ABEC 1 / Class Normal / P0 ABEC 3 / Class 6 / P6 ABEC 5 / Class 5 / P5 ABEC 7 / Class 4 / P4 ABEC 9 / Class 2 / P2

Unground Bearing
|
|
Unground bearings include bearings that are totally unground, partially unground and have precision levels less than ABEC 1.
|
|
RBEC 1 / Class 0 / P0
|
|
RBEC 1, Class 0 and P0 bearings are designed for use in lower speed and accuracy applications.
|
|
RBEC 3 / Class 6 / P6
|
|
RBEC 3, Class 6 and P6 bearings are designed for use in lower speed and accuracy applications.
|
|
RBEC 5 / Class 5 / P5
|
|
RBEC 5, Class 5 and P5 bearings are designed for use in higher speed and accuracy applications.
|
|
RBEC 7 / Class 4 / P4
|
|
RBEC 7, Class 4 and P4 bearings are designed for use in higher speed and accuracy applications.
|
|
RBEC 9 / Class 2 / P2
|
|
RBEC 9, Class 2 and P2 bearings are considered super precision and are designed for use in critical, high-tech applications.
