For non-split housings only Rotating outer ring load

Heavy loads on bearings in thin-walled housings,
heavy peak loads (P > 0,1 C)
P7 IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Cannot be displaced








Normal to heavy loads (P > 0,05 C) N7 IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Cannot be displaced








Light and variable loads (P = 0,05 C) M7 IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Cannot be displaced








Direction of load indeterminate

Heavy peak loads M7 IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Cannot be displaced








Normal to heavy loads (P > 0,05 C),
axial displacement of outer ring unnecessary
K75) IT6/2 IT6 3,2 In most cases,
cannot be displaced














For non-split housings
and split housings
Direction of load indeterminate

Light to normal loads (P = 0,1 C),
axial displacement of outer ring desirable
J7 IT6/2 IT6 3,2 In most cases,
can be displaced








Stationary outer ring load

Loads of all kinds H73) IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Can be displaced








Light to normal loads (P = 0,1 C)
with simple working conditions
H83) IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Can be displaced








Thermal expansion of the shaft G74) IT6/2 IT6 3,2 Can be displaced







  1. 1) For drawn cup, alignment and combined needle roller bearings:
    • Drawn cup needle roller bearings
    • Alignment needle roller bearings
    • Combined needle roller bearings
  2. 2) The envelope requirement (symbol Ⓔ from ISO 14405-1) is not shown but applies to all tolerance classes.
  3. 3) For large bearings (D > 250 mm), or temperature differences between the outer ring and housing > 10 °C (18 °F), tolerance class G7Ⓔ should be used instead of tolerance class H7Ⓔ.
  4. 4) For large bearings (D > 500 mm), or temperature differences between the outer ring and housing > 10 °C (18 °F), tolerance class F7Ⓔ should be used instead of tolerance class G7Ⓔ.
  5. 5) A split housing is allowed provided housing halves are well aligned during machining of the housing, with relief chamfers at the split.
  6. 6) For D > 500 mm, use Ra = 6,3 µm.
