Toolbox bearing numbers

Toolbox bearing numbers

Toolbox bearing numbers

(OP)
I know I must be missing something but can any one tell me how to connect an manufacturers part number to a ball bearing inserted from the tool box (for instance Radial Ball ((AFBMA 20.1)). And how do I determine what the size is for instance a toolbox definition for the size 30-17 gives me a bearing with a 17mm ID and a 35mm O.D, I need a mfg like INA, SKF, NTN, TORRINGTON, etc.  I know I must be very slooooow today.

RE: Toolbox bearing numbers

When you insert the part you get the option to add a Part number or description in the menu that you specify the size of the part.

Check there.

RE: Toolbox bearing numbers

(OP)
I understand that, what I don't know from the pull down what the size will be whe I insert it, and how to describe it for purchasing.  I am having to check models here in the U.S. that a partner company in France built, and in this particular case an ANSI metric bearing had been inseted.  It was an AFBMA 20.1-47-35-38,DE,NC,38_68.  This was its named configuration, I have not been able to find a cross reference to enable me to develop a mfg's part number.  That was problem #1, #2 the bearing OD, ID and width were wrong, I would guess, that the definition was hosed up between their Solidworks settings and ours.  My numer one problem would be to know what I have when I look at the properties etc.  I can work through SKF's or Torringtons parts in the tool box but I was trying to ID what had been inseted and move on.  Just must not be up to snuff with the French.  

Scott thanks for replying.  You are most helpful to all of us.

RE: Toolbox bearing numbers

1) You can change the Config name at the bottom of the Menu that is given to you when you drop the bearing into an assembly. As for Cross referencing etc... I don't know about that.

2) Do you have an example bearing that shows this? Please list the bearing and I'll take a look at min here.

Other then above, I'm not sure what excatly your after.

Insert a toolbox bearing from ansi metric, bearings, ball bearings, radial ball (afbma 20.1).  Say I need a 17mm bore X 35mm O.D.  Why would I know without choosing a size 40-17 that, this particular size is what I need.  The part number is AFBMA 20.1-40-17-12,DE,NC_68.  I guess I am not familiar with the (AFBMA 20.1) Type of designation.  If for instance with the toolbox bearings from say SKF, I can insert say a 6003 bearing number I can find in a catalog.  But what catalog can I go to for the afbma 20.1.  I was trying to identify a bearing inserted in an assy done in France.  The bearing would not fit and I spent a fair amount of time trying to find a bearing that would work.  I could not find one that would work, and finally tried the SKF parts and used a 6003.  Different bearings for sure.  I was trying to get a handle on how the size/name really was generated and how to tell purchasing who to look to for quotations.  Thanks again.

Here is a link that explains portions of the metric AFBMA numbering scheme.

GlobalSpec is a SW /3D Content Central search partner.
For a more thorough explanation, you can buy the actual standards as downloadable PDF files from sources such as:
www.techstreet.com
or
www.global.ihs.com

Otherwise, larger manufacturers like SKF and Timken will have a cross-reference chart in the back of their master catalog or on their website.
