Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document supersedes GB/T 27556-2011 "Dimensions and Tolerances of Locating Grooves for Rolling Bearings and Radial Bearings", and is consistent with GB/T 27556-Compared to 2011, aside from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) The labeling of the positioning groove has been changed (see Figures 1 and 2, Figure 1 in the 2011 version);
b) The position specification for the bottom surface of the positioning groove was changed from controlling distance to controlling position degree, and the tolerance value was recalculated and rounded (see Figure 1).
