Bearing Tolerance Class P6/ABEC3
Bearing Tolerance Class P6/ABEC3 Introduction:
Bearing tolerance class P6/ABEC3 is one of the bearing classes.
Tolerance classes for ball bearings were defined by a committee within the ABMA known as the “Annular Bearings Engineers Committee” (ABEC scale).
Tolerances are commonly referred to as ABEC rating, or grade.
ABMA standard 20 defines 5 classes: ABEC 1, ABEC 3, ABEC 5, ABEC 7 and ABEC 9
Bearing Classes By Standard:
| ANSI Standard 20 | ISO 492 | DIN 620 | JIS B1514 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABEC 1 | normal class 6X | P0 | Class 0 |
| ABEC 3 | class 6 | P6 | Class 6 |
| ABEC 5 | class 5 | P5 | Class 5 |
| ABEC 7 | class 4 | P4 | Class 4 |
| ABEC 9 | class 2 | P2 | Class 2 |
Please Note:
Some bearing manufacturers have created their own customized and branded tolerance standards (like P4+), but in this article we’re only focusing on international recognized standards.
