* Smaller section applies when position 3 is alphabetic—see following explanations of positions 3, 4, and 5.

 

Positions 3, 4, & 5—Size (bearing bore)
Numeric characters
Nominal bearing bore in inches multiplied by ten

Alphabetic characters
"A" in position 3 in combination with "A" in position 2
denotes .187 x .187 series
"A" in position 3 in combination with "H" in position 2
denotes .187 x .250 series
"A" in position 3 in combination with "S" in position 2
denotes .187 x .312 series

Examples
040 = 4.0" bore
120 = 12.0" bore
400 = 40.0" bore
"10" following "AA" in positions 2 & 3 =
.187 x .187 series with 1.0" bore
"15" following "HA" in positions 2 & 3 =
.187 x .250 series with 1.5" bore

Note: Above internal bearing fits apply to unmounted bearings only.
Mounting fits can greatly affect final internal bearing fit.

 

Position 10–13—DFAR compliance
All Reali-Slim® bearings requiring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFAR) "Specialty Metals" and "the Restrictions on Acquisition of Ball and Roller Bearings" clauses will contain '-USA' in positions 10-13. If internal fit is not called out in position 9, it will also contain a dash.

Example #1: KG120XP0L-USA
Example #2: KG120XP0--USA
