Tips:
If the thread is left-hand (LH), the letter "L" must be appended to the bearing designation, e.g., SA 20 ES 2RS.
For bearing bore diameter d ≥ 15, the -2RS sealed variant is also available, e.g., SI 20 ES 2RS.
Models marked with an asterisk (*) do not include a lubrication hole or grease nipple.
