Another Bearing Question: Part Number - Suffix?

Oct 15, 2007 4 Replies

I bought some SKF bearings and the suffix part number is "XXXXX 2LS JEM"



"2LS" - both side seals "JEM" - What is JEM?



Anyone who is familiar with bearing please explains "JEM"

If the bearings are run-of-the-mill deep groove radial bearings, my educated guess is: J = pressed steel cage EM = electric motor quality (the bearing will run quieter than the normal standard)

Thank you, appreciate your help.

Outside of angular contact, what is a shallow groove bearing?
