NACHI Bearing FAQ: Suffixes, Replacements, Pricing & Shipping

The suffix specifies options such as internal clearance, cage type and seals, so two bearings with the same base number can behave differently in service. A misread suffix is a common reason a replacement will not fit or fails early. Send us the full number and we will check it before you order.

Yes. We check the clearance code in your model number against the bearing you are replacing. Clearance is the small amount of internal play between the rings and rolling elements. Include the equipment type, such as a machine tool spindle, pump, reducer or motor, so the clearance matches how the bearing will run.

Yes. We know the NACHI cage options and check the cage code in your model number. If the quoted model has a different cage from your original bearing, we tell you before you confirm.

Send the complete model number, including every letter after the base number, and we will confirm the seal or shield version with you. If the marking is unclear, a photo of both faces of the bearing helps us identify whether it is open, shielded or sealed.

Yes. Replacement and cross-reference are part of our technical support. Send the old model number and the equipment it runs in, and we will propose a NACHI model and explain how it compares with your original.

Send whatever you have, and we will use it to identify the bearing. The most useful details are:

• Any characters you can still read on the rings
• Clear photos of the bearing from the side and both faces
• Bore, outside diameter and width, if you can measure them
• The machine and position it comes from, such as a spindle, pump or reducer

Yes. Send the number from your parts list or equipment manual, and we will match it to a NACHI model, including the right suffix options. If there is more than one possible match, we list them and explain how they differ.

Yes. We price separately for bearing distributors, repair and maintenance shops, and end-user factories, so each gets a competitive price for how it buys. Tell us which one you are when you send your request.

Yes. We quote replacement and maintenance quantities for repair shops and plants as well as restocking orders for distributors. Send the exact quantity you need for each model, and we will price it.

Yes. Put every model number with its quantity in one message, and we will quote the whole list together. This is how most distributors and maintenance teams restock several bearing types at once.

In-stock models ship as soon as possible once you confirm the order and it has been checked, labeled and packed. For breakdown replacements, tell us the machine is down, and we will prioritize the fastest shipping option.

Choose based on urgency and order size. Express courier (DHL, FedEx or UPS) generally suits urgent replacement parts. Air and sea freight generally suit larger restocking orders. Tell us your destination, and we will suggest the most practical option when we quote.

nachioem supplies buyers worldwide by express courier, air freight and sea freight. Include your destination country and port or city with your model list, and we will confirm the shipping options in the quote.

Yes. Every order is checked against the confirmed model numbers and quantities before it is labeled and packed. This catches suffix or quantity mismatches before they reach your warehouse.

Yes. Every order is labeled before dispatch, so your stores team can match the goods to your order on arrival. If your warehouse has specific labeling needs, put them in your requirements when you order.

Every order is packed carefully for the shipping method you choose, whether courier, air or sea. Careful packing protects the bearings in transit, so they arrive ready to go into stock or straight into the machine.
