Schaeffler suffix understanding

[udroiul]

Hi, I have a Schaeffler spherical roller bearing with the following suffix M15BD. Can anyone help with the meaning of it? Thank you in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Laurentiu

Is that the entire suffix?
Did you ask your supplier?

I think the M15 means the bearing was measured with a TAlyrond etc, and the BD references what the measurement was and where the measurement records are kept ( was a copy packaged with the bearing, etc.)

Thank you Tmoose.
The bearing have also other suffixes but I know them. This one is similar with M15NZ where indeed is specified the measurement with Talyrond and serial number marking. I have also the equivalent from SKF which carry on VE501 suffix. Is this one familiar to you as well?
Thank you,
Laurentiu
