SKF double row cylindrical roller bearings designation follow a system that may consist of a basic designation with or without one or more prefixes and/or suffixes
	
		
			| 3 | Suffixes - Internal design | 
		
			| A, B, C | Deviating or modified internal design | 
	
	
		
			| 4 | Suffixes - External design (seals, snap ring groove etc.) | 
		
			| G | Helical groove in inner ring bore | 
		
			| K | Tapered bore, taper 1:12 | 
		
			| K30 | Tapered bore, taper 1:30 | 
	
	
		
			| 5 | Suffixes - Cage design | 
		
			| F | Machined steel cage, roller centred | 
		
			| M | Machined brass cage, roller centred | 
	
	
		
			| 6.1 | Suffixes - Materials, heat treatment | 
		
			| HA1 | Case-hardened inner and outer rings | 
		
			| HA4 | Case-hardened inner and outer rings and rollers | 
		
			| HA5 | Case-hardened rollers | 
		
			| HB1 | Bainite-hardened inner and outer rings | 
	
	
		
			| 6.2 | Suffixes - Accuracy, clearance, preload, quiet running | 
		
			| CN | Normal radial internal clearance; only used together with an additional letter that identifies a reduced or displaced clearance range 
					The above letters are also used together with the clearance classes C2, C3, C4 and C5, e.g. C2H
						H = Reduced clearance range corresponding to the upper half of the actual clearance range
						L = Reduced clearance range corresponding to the lower half of the actual clearance range
						M = Reduced clearance range corresponding to the middle half of the actual clearance range
						P = Displaced clearance range comprising the upper half of the actual clearance range plus the lower half of the next larger clearance range | 
		
			| C2 | Radial internal clearance smaller than Normal | 
		
			| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than Normal | 
		
			| C4 | Radial internal clearance greater than C3 | 
		
			| C5 | Radial internal clearance greater than C4 | 
	
	
		
			| 6.3 | Suffixes - Bearing sets, matched bearings | 
		
			| DR | Set of two matched bearings | 
		
			| TR | Set of three matched bearings | 
		
			| QR | Set of four matched bearings | 
	
	
		
			| 6.4 | Suffixes - Stabilization | 
		
			| S1 | Bearing rings heat stabilized for operating temperatures ≤ 200 °C (390 °F) | 
		
			| S2 | Bearing rings heat stabilized for operating temperatures ≤ 250 °C (480 °F) | 
	
	
		
			| 6.5 | Suffixes - Lubrication | 
		
			| W20 | Lubrication holes in the outer ring | 
		
			| W33(X) | Annular groove and lubrication holes in the outer ring |
