MPB bearing part number system

How to read miniature bearing numbers:

Example: S518MBH-5 DB2 P58 ZDM Q18 LOV2

S - Material stainless steel
518 - Bearing size (5/16 O.D. x 1/8 I.D.) The first digit is the O.D. size in sixteenths of an inch, the remaining digits give the bore size.
MB - Inner ring separable
H - Single shield
-5 - Bearing to meet ABEC-5P tolerances
DB2 - Duplexed back to back mounting under a 2 pound preload
P58 - Radial play of each bearing, before preloading of 0.0005 to 0.0008
ZDM - Grading of pairs having matched O.D. and bores
Q18 - Starting torque - 1800 rag-nun
LOV2 - Vacuum impregnate retainer with LO-2 lubrication

Special bearing configurations are indicated by an A, B, D, E as the case would be with a sequence number following. Numbers run from 1 to 999 then shift/to next letter in the alphabet.
