Single Row Angular 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.
Examples and the applicable options for single row angular contact ball bearings are given below.
Examples
7210 BEP where 7210 =
B, E =
P =
7210 BECBY where 7210 =
B, E =
CB =
Y =
Applicable options
Prefixes (n.a.)
Basic designation
Listed in table 1

ALS Inch bearing
AMS Inch bearing
Bearing size for inch bearings
(divided by 8 = bore diameter)
22
to
40
/8 = 2 3/4 in. (69,85 mm) bore diameter

/8 = 5 in. (127 mm) bore diameter
Suffixes - Internal design
A 30° contact angle
AB 20° contact angle (inch bearing)
AC 25° contact angle
B 40° contact angle
E Optimized internal design
Suffixes - External design (seals, snap ring groove, execution, etc.)
N1 One locating slot (notch) in one outer ring side face
CA Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have axial internal clearance smaller than Normal (CB).
CB Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have Normal axial internal clearance.
CC Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have axial internal clearance greater than Normal (CB).
G Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have axial internal clearance.
GA Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have light preload.
GB Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have moderate preload.
GC Bearing for universal matching. Two bearings arranged back-to-back or face-to-face have heavy preload.
-2RZ Non-contact seal, NBR, on both sides
Suffixes - Cage design
F Machined steel cage, ball centred

P Glass fibre reinforced PA66 cage, ball centred
PH Glass fibre reinforced PEEK cage, ball centred
Y Stamped brass cage, ball centred
Suffixes - Materials, heat treatment (n.a.)
Suffixes - Accuracy, clearance, preload, quiet running
P5 Dimensional and geometrical tolerances (tolerances of run-out and orientation) to class P5
P6 Dimensional and geometrical tolerances (tolerances of run-out) to class P6
Suffixes - Bearing sets, matched bearings
DB Two bearings matched for mounting back-to-back
DF Two bearings matched for mounting face-to-face
DT Two bearings matched for mounting in tandem
Suffixes - Stabilization (n.a.)
Suffixes - Lubrication (n.a.)
Suffixes - Other variants (n.a.)
