Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings Designation system

The designations of most Lily rolling bearings follow a system that may consist of a basic designation with or without one or more prefixes and/or suffixes.
An example and the applicable options for four-point contact ball bearings are given below.
Examples
QJ 318 N2PHAS where QJ 318 =
N2 =
PHAS =
Applicable options
Prefixes (n.a.)
Basic designation
Listed in table 1
Suffixes - Internal design (n.a.)
Suffixes - External design (seals, snap ring groove, etc.))
N2 Two locating slots (notches) in one outer ring side face, 180° apart
Suffixes - Cage design
FA Machined steel cage, outer ring centred
MA Machined brass cage, outer ring centred.
PHAS Glass fibre reinforced PEEK cage, with lubrication grooves in the guiding surface, outer ring centred
Suffixes - Materials, heat treatment (n.a.)
Suffixes - Accuracy, clearance, preload, quiet running
P6 Dimensional and geometrical tolerances (tolerances of run-out) to class P6
