This document specifies dimensional and geometrical characteristics, deviation limits from nominal sizes, and tolerance values to define the interface (except chamfers) of radial rolling bearings. Nominal boundary dimensions are defined in ISO 15, ISO 355[2] and ISO 8443[4].


This document does not apply to certain radial bearings of particular types (e.g. needle roller bearings) or for particular fields of application (e.g. airframe bearings). Tolerances for such bearings are given in the relevant International Standards.
