ROLLING BEARINGS - VOCABULARY
( First Revision )
National Foreword
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ), which is identical with IS0 5593-l 984 *Rolling
bearings - Vocabulary, issued by the International Organization for Standardization ( IS0 ), was
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Rolling Bearings
Sectional Committee and approval of the Engineering Division Council.
The original version of this standard was published in 1964. The revision has been made in
order to harmonize this Indian Standard with the International Standard by adoption of IS0 5593-
1984.
Wherever the words #International Standard appear, referring to this standard, they should be
read as #Indian Standard.
Additional Information
This Indian Standard is the national implementation of IS0 5593-1984; as such only the
English text has been reproduced. If the French text is required, reference should be made to
original IS0 publication.

1 Scope arid field of application
In order rha: the various language versions of the Vocabulary
shall be conveniently linked, the numbers assigned to groups,
sub-groups and entries are the same for both languages,
This International Standard establishes a vocabulary of terms,
wtth their definitions, applied in the field of roiling bearings and
their technology, The terms and definitions are given in English
and French.
NOTE - Only terms whrch are particular to the p$ninent field, or
which in this field are defined In a particular way, are included,
2.2.1 Organization of an entry
Each entry contains an Index number, the term and the text of
the definition.
2 Principles and rules followed
2.1 Organization of the Vocabulary
The Vocabulary comprises
a) terms, with their definition, in systematic order (see
clause 3) ;
b) figures with index numbers of relevant terms (see
clause 4) ;
cl alphabetical listings of the terms, with their index
numbers.
The Vocabulary can be used in several ways :
-
if a term is known in either language, its index number
is established in the pertinent alphabetical listing and
then the definition of the term, its equivalent in the other
language, and references to illustrations tnay be found in
clause 3 ;
-
a bearing, part or dimension may be identified in one of
the figures of clause 4, giving the index numbers of the rele-
vant terms in clause 3;
An entry may also rnclude a note and/or reference to one or
more figures in clause 4 [for example (Figure 5.11.
The index number and the term are printed in bold typeface. In
some entries the term is followed by a qualifier. A qualifier is
pnnted in normal typeface in parentheses and indicates a direc-
tive for the use of the term or a particular field of application of
the term as defined
The absence of a generally accepted term tor the concept in the
language is indicated by a row of dots.
2.2.2 Use of parentheses
In some terms a word or words printed in bold typeface are
placed between parentheses. These words are part of the com-
plete term, but they may be omitted when use of the abridged
term does not introduce ambiguity.
In some entries the terms are followed by words in parentheses
in normal typeface. These words are qualifiers (see 2.2.1) and
not part of the term.
- a required term, with definition, may be established
directly by means of a search in clause 3.
2.2.3 Use of [square] brackets
2.2 Organization of clause 3 on terms and
definitions
When several closely related terms can be defined by the same
texts apart from a few words, the terms and their definitions are
grouped In a single entry. The words to be substituted for those
which precede them in order to obtain the different meanings
are placed in brackets, i.e. [ I, tn the same order in the term and
in the definition.
The terms and definitions are given in groups and sub-groups,
arranged in systematic order.
A two-digit serial number is assigned to each group, beginning
with 01 for Bearings.
Each group is divided into sub-groups, to each of which is
assigned a 4-digit serial number, the first two digits being those
of the group.
2.2.4 Use of italic typeface
A term printed in italic typeface in a definition or a note is de-
fined in another entry of the Vocabulary. It is only printed in
iialic type!ace the first time it occurs in each entry.
The basic form of each such term is included in the alphabetical
Each entry (see 2.2.1) is assigned a 6-digit index number, the index, where the Index number of :he corresponding entry is
first four drgits being those of the sub-group. shown.

2.3 Organization of clause 4 on figures
~~~ flgu:es are principally arranged in the same order as that ira
wp,,ch the terms they illustrate are given in clause 3.
~a,-h fIgtire gives the index numbers of relevant terms. A figure
usually shows only one example of the several existing forms of
a bearing or part. In most cases the figures are simplified and
leave OU: unnecessary details.
2.4 Organization of the alphabetical indexes
The alphabetical indexes include all terms, in either language,
given and defined in clause 3. Multiple-word terms appear in
alphat>erical order both by natural order of words and by their
key words.
The alfinabetical index refers to the index number of the entry
in clause 3 where the term is defined.

plummer block housing
pillow block housing (CDN and USA)
The bearing housing of a plummer block (pillow block).
(Figures 101, 102, 104.)

locknut (for axial location of rolling bearings)
A nut with a cylindrical outside surface with axial slots for lock-
ing of the rut by one of the outer tabs of a lockwasher and for
the application of a hook spanner. (Figures 101, 110.)
07.02.06
lockwasher (for locknut)
A sheet steel washer with a plurality of outer tabs, one of which
is used for locking a iocknuf, and one inner tab intended to
enter the axial slot in an adapter sleeve or in a shaft. (Figures
101, 111.)
07.02.07
eccentric locking collar
A steel ring having a recess on one side which is eccentric in
relation to the bore and fits over an equally eccentric extension
of the inner ring of an insert bearing. The collar is turned in rela-
tion to :he inner ring until it lo&s and then secured to the shaft
by tightening of a grub screw (set screw, retaining screw).
