Scope
GB/T 272-2017 is the English-translated version of 滚动轴承 代号方法.
GB/T 272-2017 sets the rules for compiling the identification codes of rolling bearings and their components, and applies to bearings for general use.
It defines the code as the basic code with a pre-positioned and a post-positioned code, and gives the basic code for bearings other than needle roller bearings, made of type code, size series code and inner diameter code, and the separate basic code for needle roller bearings.
It also covers the compilation rules, bearings with accessories, special representations and the preparation requirements. Five normative appendices give codes for tapered roller bearings to GB/T 273.1, variant structures, bearings without a cage, non-standard bearings and special bearings.
It cites GB/T 273.1, GB/T 273.2, GB/T 273.3, GB/T 276, GB/T 281 and GB/T 283. It replaces GB/T 272-1993, was issued on 12 July 2017 and has applied since 1 February 2018.

The terms and definitions as defined in GB/T 4199 and GB/T 6930 apply to this document.
4 Symbols
The symbols as given in GB/T 7811 as well as the following symbols apply to this document.
5 Composition of bearing code
The bearing code is composed of the basic code, the pre-positioned code, the post-positioned code; the arrangement sequence is as specified in Table 1.
6 Basic code (except needle roller bearings)
6.1 Overview
The basic code represents the basic type, structure and size of the bearing and is the basis of the bearing code. The outer dimensions of the bearing conform to the requirements of any standard of GB/T 273.1, GB/T 273.2, GB/T 273.3, GB/T 3882; its basic code is composed of bearing type code, size series code, inner diameter code; its arrangement sequence is according to Table 1.
6.3 Size series code
The size series code is indicated by numbers. The size series code is a combination of the width (height) series code and the diameter series code of the bearing. The size series codes of radial bearings and thrust bearings are in accordance with Table 3.
6.4 Bearing series code
The bearing series code is composed of bearing type code and size series code.
Commonly used bearing types, size series codes and composition bearing series codes are as shown in Table 4. For bearing types and sizes not included
7 Basic code of needle roller bearing
7.1 The external dimensions of needle roller bearings comply with the requirements of GB/T 290, GB/T 4605, GB/T 20056. The basic code is composed of the bearing type code and the size indicating the fitting installation characteristics of the bearing.
7.2 The type code of needle roller bearing is indicated by letters. The size of the bearing fitting installation feature is expressed by the size series, inner diameter code or directly in millimeters. The type code and the basic code of the needle roller bearing indicating the characteristic size of the fitting installation shall be in accordance with the provisions of Table 6.
8 Compilation rules of basic code
In the basic code, when the bearing type code is indicated by letters, it shall be arranged with a half Chinese character space between the bearing size series code, inner diameter code or the number of the installation fitting characteristic size, for example. NJ 230, AXK 0821.
9 Pre-positioned and post-positioned code
9.1 Overview
The pre-positioned and post-positioned codes are supplementary codes added to the left and right of the basic code when the structural shape, size, tolerance, technical requirements of the bearing are changed.
9.2 Pre-positioned code
The pre-positioned code is indicated by letters, which is often used to indicate bearing's sub-components (bearing assemblies). Codes and their meanings are in accordance with Table 7.
9.3 Post-positioned code
9.3.1 Overview
The post-positioned code is indicated by letters (or plus numbers); the bearing characteristics and arrangement sequence indicated by the post-positioned code are in accordance with Table 8.
9.3.2 Rules for compiling post-positioned codes
9.3.3 Post-positioned code and meaning
9.3.3.1 Internal structure
The internal structure code is used to indicate bearings of the same type and dimensions but with different internal structures. Its code and meaning are in accordance with Table 9. […]
