1) For needle roller bearings → relevant sections under Needle roller bearings.
2) Envelope requirement (symbol Ⓔ from ISO 14405-1) not written but applies.
3) Values listed are for bearings to Normal tolerances. For bearings with tighter tolerance classes, use the recommendations in this table.
4) Shifted tolerance field.

5) Depending on bearing size, a shifted g6Ⓔ tolerance may be needed to obtain a loose fit.
