Bower cylindrical bearing part number system

Explanation of Bower cylindrical bearing numbering systems I. Bower straight roller bearings consist of solid rollers, solid inner, and outer races.
II. The number denotes the size, while the letters denote the kind of races and roller assemblies.
III. The prefix letter "M" is shown on both races, therefore it is of no value in identification when used as a prefix, other than to denote that the bearing is manufactured to metric size.
IV. All letters preceding the bearing number pertain to the inner race. All letters following the number refer to the outer race and designate whether the bearing has a cage or has a full complement or rollers.
