How to Decode and Identify Bearing Part Numbers for Product Data Management (PDM)

Question:

I am relatively new to my role in product data management (PDM) and I am currently going through my equipment, trying to identify my bearings. I have come across part numbers like 235A2519AA01, 90RU03M0, and 80BC03JP3, but I have been unable to locate these bearings anywhere. I suspect that these may not be actual bearing part numbers. I am in need of a conversion chart to assist me in deciphering these part numbers accurately. If anyone could provide me with a conversion chart or similar tool, it would be greatly appreciated.

The initial bearing mentioned corresponds to a specific manufacturers part number, while the other two bearings are categorized under generic ABMA bearing numbers. These detailed tables can be found on the vibration forum or downloaded directly from the SKF website. Specifically, the 80BC03JP3 bearing is equivalent to a 6316 bearing, following the BC classification for Conrad type deep groove 6000 series, with 03 representing medium duty and 80 indicating the bore diameter in millimeters, which translates to a size 16.

Have you successfully converted the 235A2519AA01? If yes, could you share the process? Thank you.

Hey Doc, you should consider updating your location tag to reflect the current status. If I'm not mistaken, the St. Louis Cardinals are the current reigning champions of the World Series.

Thanks for bringing that up, Danny. I appreciate it. I hope everything is going well for you.

Hey there, it seems like you've got quite a task on your hands. Unfortunately, deciphering bearing part numbers can indeed be quite complex because each manufacturer typically has their own system. However, there's a website called BearingNet that may be a good starting point. It might not have a direct conversion chart, but it could help you cross-reference part numbers across multiple manufacturers. Additionally, reaching out directly to the manufacturers with part numbers can also sometimes yield good results. Good luck with your PDM role!

From my experience in product data management, it does sound like those could be internal identifiers rather than standard bearing numbers. Unfortunately, every company has its own specific system for labeling parts, which makes a universal conversion chart a bit of a pipe dream. If these are coming from a certain manufacturer, your best course of action might be to reach out to them directly for a decoding key or manual if it's not proprietary information. Alternatively, your company might have internal resources or even experts who could guide you in deciphering these part numbers.

It sounds like you're diving into quite the project! Part numbers like those can be tricky, especially if they're specific to certain manufacturers or older inventory. Have you checked with the manufacturer or a database like the one from the American Bearing Manufacturers Association? Sometimes, cross-referencing with a specific supplier’s catalog can yield better results. Additionally, forums dedicated to engineering or maintenance might have members who can share resources or conversion charts specific to the brands you're dealing with. Stick with it; this kind of detective work pays off!
