Basic bearing designation system
The designations of most SKF rolling bearings follow a designation system. The complete bearing designation may consist of a basic designation with or without one or more supplementary prefixes and suffixes (diagram 1). The basic designation identifies:
- the bearing type
- the basic design
- the boundary dimensions
Prefixes and suffixes identify design features or bearing components.
A basic designation typically contains three to five digits. The basic designation system is shown in table 1. The number and letter combinations have the following meaning:
- The first digit or letter or combination of letters identifies the bearing type and eventually a basic variant.
- The following two digits identify the ISO dimension series. The first digit indicates the width or height series (dimensions B, T or H). The second digit identifies the diameter series (dimension D).
- The last two digits of the basic designation identify the size code of the bearing bore. The size code multiplied by 5 gives the bore diameter (d) in mm.
The most important exceptions in the basic bearing designation system are:
- In a few cases the digit for the bearing type or the first digit of the dimension series identification is omitted. These digits are shown in brackets in table 1.
Bearings with a bore diameter of 10, 12, 15 or 17 mm have the following size code identifications:
00 = 10 mm
01 = 12 mm
02 = 15 mm
03 = 17 mm
- For bearings with a bore diameter < 10 mm, or ≥ 500 mm, the bore diameter is generally given in millimetres (uncoded). The size identification is separated from the rest of the bearing designation by an oblique stroke, e.g. 618/8 (d = 8 mm) or 511/530 (d = 530 mm). This is also true for standard bearings in accordance with ISO 15 that have a bore diameter of 22, 28 or 32 mm, e.g. 62/22 (d = 22 mm).
- For some bearings with a bore diameter < 10 mm, such as deep groove, self-aligning and angular contact ball bearings, the bore diameter is also given in millimetres (uncoded) but is not separated from the series designation by an oblique stroke, e.g. 629 or 129 (d = 9 mm).
- Bore diameters that deviate from the standard bore diameter of a bearing are uncoded and given in millimetres up to three decimal places. This bore diameter identification is part of the basic designation and is separated from the basic designation by an oblique stroke, e.g. 6202/15.875 (d = 15,875 mm = 5/8 in).
Bearing series
Bearing series designations consist of an identification for the bearing type and the dimension series. The most common series designations are shown in table 1. The digits in brackets belong to the system, but are not used in the series designation in practice.
The designations of most SKF rolling bearings follow a system that consists of a basic designation with or without one or more prefixes and/or suffixes, as shown in the table and the examples below.
Prefixes and suffixes provide additional information about the bearing.
Prefixes are mainly used to identify components of a bearing. They can also identify bearing variants.
Suffixes identify designs or variants, which differ in some way from the original design or from the current basic design. The suffixes are divided into groups. When more than one special feature is to be identified, suffixes are provided in the order shown in the table below.
Details of the significance of specific prefixes and suffixes are given in the relevant product sections.
Designation system
|Basic designation
|Suffix - Internal design
|Suffix - External design (seals, snap ring groove etc.)
|Suffix - Cage design
|Suffix - Materials, heat treatment
|Suffix - Tolerance, clearance, preload, quiet running
|Suffix - Bearing sets, matched bearings
|Suffix - Stabilization
|Suffix - Lubrication
|Suffix - Other variants
Insert bearings
The designations for insert bearings differ somewhat from those described in the basic designation system and are covered in the relevant product section.
Needle roller bearings
The designations for needle roller bearings do not fully follow the basic designation system and are covered in the relevant product section.
Tapered roller bearings
The designations for metric tapered roller bearings follow either the basic designation system or a designation system, established by ISO in 1977, covered in ISO 3551).
Inch tapered roller bearings are designated in accordance with the relevant ANSI/ABMA standard. The designation system for tapered roller bearings is explained in the relevant product section.
Customized bearings
Bearings designed to meet a specific customer requirement are typically designated by a drawing number. The drawing number does not provide any information about the bearing.
Other rolling bearings
Rolling bearings not covered in the Ball bearings and Roller bearings sections, such as super-precision bearings, thin section bearings, slewing bearings or linear bearings, follow designation systems that can differ significantly from the basic designation system.

What tripped me about this place when I arrived was the welcoming spirit of the staff and how attentive they were throughout my stay here as I booked a room for four days. The maintenance is something else as the one time I had problems with the toilet and called them, it took them just 2 minutes to get to me and fixed it immediately. Whatever problem I had with the place, they took care of it immediately, I would have given them a five star but I didn't really feel the place. The rooms are quite spacious and clean, they took care of it daily. I stayed in one of the rooms on the fourth floor, the rooms there are quiet and the WIFI connection was also very fast. One annoying thing about the location is the chaotic traffic I would always find myself in every time I try to go out but taxi services in the area are very quick. The breakfast buffet was fantastic throughout my stay so I can't complain. The rooms have small refrigerators in them and you should try the spaghetti for breakfast, it is quite delicious. Tirandentes is just a couple of blocks away from the hotel so the location couldn't have been any more convenient. The personnel and staff working here are always there to please you; I mean they will go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable throughout your stay in this hotel. I may go back here again but if I get something better i many not. Nice staff, great meal and nice location.

The Newsonomics of The Boston Globe's Sale
By: Ken Doctor | Nieman Journalism Lab
Make more room for the great metro sell-off of 2013.
With the unsurprising news that The New York Times Company is trying, once again, to part with The Boston Globe, we see the start of a wave of likely change in metro newspaper ownership across the United States. When the Globe changes hands, and when Tribune puts its metros on the block, readers in Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hartford, Orlando and South Florida will all see change. They'll join readers in Tampa, Chicago, Orange County, San Diego, and Philadelphia, who have had new owners take over the local presses recently. Add in readers in Denver and Seattle, who lost one of their two papers completely. It's astounding, really.

Home > Local Search > Arborist - nsw > Mortdale - 2223
Updated: February 24th 2020
Getting an arborist Mortdale or as they are more commonly known, tree lopper, to remove or prune your tree and NOT charge an arm and a leg can be a bit of a challenge.
Some in the industry pose as professionals or experts to cash in on the exploding industry. Others are not qualified or insured and some charge 300%+ more than others for the same task!
Not to worry, we have you covered.
We tackle such thing of where to start looking, what questions to ask, when is the best time of year to get a better price, how do you find high quality, but affordable local tree services and much much more.
Let's get started.
What we cover:
What do arborists Mortdale cost?
Fake Arborists working in Mortdale
Stay smart, how to save money on Mortdale arborists cost?
3 Questions you must ask your arborist
Hurstville City Council regulations for Mortdale
It's the million dollar question and the answer is… Well it depends!
Firstly, you don't want to hire by an hourly rate. Doing this mean you take all the risk. If the job was meant to take 2 days but ends up taking 3, you will pay more.
Hire an arborist Mortdale at a fixed price for the entire job. This means that no matter how long it takes, you pay the same.
This won't be an issue as arborists generally only quote by the job anyway and don't give an hourly rate. Why? Because every tree job is different.
Take a tree removal for example. Variables that affect price are the tree size, shape, spread number of branches are always different, but it doesn't end there.
Hint: We have also put together a complete guide to arborist costs. In it you will find accurate prices for the cost of arborist work
Other things that affect price are the access to the tree, any obstacles (overhanding a house, carport, shed etc.)
We solve the critical problem of getting your trees lopped on the cheap!
Enter the location of your tree job
When they hand you an expensive quote, and you get 3 other similar ones, you think, well I guess this is what arborist work in Mortdale costs, lets go with the 'cheapest one'. The real issue is people are in such a rush these days, the don't have time to try and find the best deal on things like tree removal or pruning
It's the time vs. money paradigm.
Go Tree Quotes is a FREE SERVICE that matches homeowners with the best priced Mortdale arborist. We do this with a unique review system where users tell us who is cheapest and who they chose and why.
It's all well and good giving 'stars', but everyone really wants to know about price.
Yes, you read that right. There are a tonne of fly by night companies and unskilled labourers trying to cash in on the tree service industry.
The problem is they have no idea what they are doing and often leave trees hacked apart, property damaged get themselves badly insured or in some cases killed.
Most people don't know that more people die removing and pruning trees each year than mining and construction combined!
It's a dangerous industry, so you need to make sure you are getting the right credentials before they start.
Not getting a qualified arborist to prune or remove your tree can leave you wide open to litigation. If they were to injure themselves on your property and they don't have the correct insurance, then you can be liable.
Below we outline 3 Questions you must ask arborist before you hire. Read them carefully.
Australian standards state that all Certified tree arborist are trained to carry out their work to the high quality and safety as outline in the below Australia standards.
An arborist holding a Certificate II or Certificate III in arboriculture will have training in all of the below standards, so you can rest assured that they will carry out the task in a safe and efficient manner.

When you do an internet search on yellow pages, Google or Truelocal. A lot of people in this fast paced society just go with the first 3 companies they come across.
Rookie error!
Why? Because they reason they are the first companies you came across is they are paying a premium for you to see them first.
As mentioned above the tree service industry is highly unregulated you could land yourself in hot water fast by hiring the wrong 'expert". This is what you need to ask for.
As they are not doing things by the book, they convince customers it's fine to remove a tree when you actually need approval (fines are $10,000). They do damage to property, hack trees or even worse can injure themselves on your property.
You must ask for the following to protect yourself.
Arboriculture is what arborist study to work in the field. Please make sure you ask each contractor that turns up for their certificate. They won't mind giving it to you as they also don't like the industry cowboys and won't prove they are legitimate and trustworthy.
You can easily check this out yourself. Just get their company name or ABN and do a search here https://abr.business.gov.au/
It will show you when they registered the business and you can also see if there has been any name changes, insolvency notices or anything else dodgy.
We recommend never hiring anyone with less than 3 years industry experience. The last thing you want is a rookies practicing on your tree.
This is one way to go about selecting a company. The only thing they miss is price.
Go online and check the company reviews from different sources. Some reviews can be faked, but you can't fake 40+ 5 star reviews. That is a real business with real reviews.
It is important though to read the comments. Some customers can be fickle in they will give a 1 star review for a business who forgot to phone them back.
It's a little harsh when you consider this is their livelihood. People forget things, especially these days where there is so much distraction and so many things to do.
Most of the time customers don't leave reviews (unless they had a bad experience). So the fact that any company has positive reviews let alone 20 + reviews is a miracle in itself.
If you had a good experience, do them a favour and leave an online review.
We get you the right arborist for your tree job at affordable prices
The combined years of experience for the tree contractors recommended for your job is critical to ensure the job is done in a safe and efficient mannor.
Your 100% protected with all tree surgeons we recommend. They all operate in accordance with current regulations and Australian standards on pruning of amenity trees, safe use of chainsaw and they all use personal protective clothing and helmets.
We have a range of tree lopping experts who have all proven themselves to be reliable, ethical, respectful and committed.
We match you with local businesses who provide you with up-front quotes that are well priced and can be trusted. There will be hard sales or surprises, just great advice and great prices.
Every local council has what's called a Tree Preservation Order TPO, which outlines the rules and regulations for tree removal or pruning in your local region. In your case Hurstville City council.
Go to tree removal Mortdale council regulations
Depending on where you live your local council might have strict or relaxed laws regarding trees. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the city and the closer to the centre you are, the stricter the rules.
You will need to follow them closely if you want to avoid being fined. Removing or pruning a tree that is protected will result in fines up to $10,000.
Go to tree pruning Mortdale council regulations
Most local council have an exemption list. This is a list of trees that do not need council permission to remove. Generally they are pests and listed on the national noxious weed list.
Some examples would be the weeping willow or the Camphor laurel. This is not a rule of thumb and you will need to consult your local TPO.
We have included this map of plant and tree hardiness for your area. This will give you an idea of the types of trees that suit your yard and how much care they might need.
This can be relevant when getting an arborist report when applying to council for tree removal. Exotic species won't fair as well as local ones and thus are more likely to be given approval by council.
If your tree is a protected tree and you want to remove it, there is a good chance the council will ask for an arborist report to support their on findings on whether or not to give approval for removal.
The officer who comes out to inspect the tree will be an arborist himself and will keep his observations to himself, but will basically be looking for a second opinion.
In the tree service industry there are two types of arborist. Ones with certificates and ones with Diplomas in Arboriculture.
Depending on your local council you will either require a Certificate III or Diploma qualified arborist to present a report.
This will cost you $300 - $600 on average. It could be a little more if it is for DA approvals. My guess is that if you are spending that kind of money (on top of what it will cost you to remove the tree once you have approval) then you are going to want the arborist on your side and writing a report that works in your favour.
In that case, you will need to read an article I wrote on how to successfully apply to council and get approval for tree removal.
It's not as straight forward as it sounds, but if you do everything right you have a much better chance of getting it approved.
A level 5 arborist has further studies in arboriculture and has gained a Diploma. Most working arborist who perform tree trimming and removal are level 3 arborist. A level 5 arborist has continued studies to be able to do arborist reports. They are trained in identifying pests and diseases, fungus and acute safety issues. If you need an arborist report you will need to contract a Level 5 arborist to do the report in Sydney.
Arborist don't really charge by the hour but by the job. This is actually good news for you as they take on all the risk. If they charged by the hour, it's quite easy for the job to take longer than expected. If you were paying by the hour it would cost you more.
Tree removal and trimming jobs are quote after a tree has been inspected and the price includes all works from start to finish.
If your tree is protected by your local Tree Preservation Order (TPO), then your local Council might ask you to get a report from an independent arborist. The arborist will make up a detailed report on the health, safety and their recommendation for the tree moving forward.
I would not go out and get an arborist report unless prompted to do so by the council first. So make your tree removal application to council. If they knock it back or ask for a report, then contract an arborist to do so.
Just because you get an arborist report, does not mean you will like the arborist's findings. Arborist do not recommend the removal of all trees they inspect. So if your desired result is to have the tree removed, but the tree is healthy, then you might be wasting your time by getting a report.
That being said you are not a trained professional and there will be things an arborist can see that you cannot. These could all lean in your favour for a removal recommendation.
This will depend on what you are wanting from the arborist. If you need a report, then they will need to come out and inspect the tree, take photos and begin formulating a plan for their report. At this point though, you would have committed to paying for the report. If you need your tree removed and your tree does not need a report, a level 3 arborist will come out to inspect the tree before giving a firm price.
Yes. Tree doctor and tree surgeon are both used to describe arborists. Tree surgeon is used quite a lot in the UK where tree doctor is more American. In Australia we tend to use the correct term which is arborist.
The cost of an arborist varies depending on the task. Arborist normally perform tree trimming, tree removal, arborist reports, tree inspections and a host of other jobs.
Arborist do not charge by the hour but rather by the job. The average tree removal by arborist in Melbourne is $1,100. The real range for tree removal is $350 and $4,500. It all depends on the size of the tree being removed.
You will need to get quotes from local arborist to know exactly what your tree removal or trim will cost you as there is no standard price.
An arborist report will cost on average about $450 for a single tree. If you multiple trees that need reporting on you will the price will increase about $50 - $100 per tree. Arborist reports for DA approval are also more involved and will cost a little more.
Can I use a level 3 arborist?
This will depend on the council. If they do not specifically stipulate they a level 5 arborist is required, you can go with a level 3. These days most council are asking for level 5 arborists for all of their reports.
No. A council will only ask for an arborist report for a second opinion. They council arborist will have his own idea on what needs to be done and the recommendation of an independent arborist will go a long way to away their decision, but the final say is with council.
When you get an arborist report, you don't have to submit it to council. You can actually get another opinion from another arborist. You will need to pay for a second report, but they could see some things that the first arborist did not. In theory, you can get as many reports from different arborist as you like and just submit the one that has a recommendation for removal.
There is no hard and fast rule on this, but I would say that council would like to see the recommendation from an arborist report that is no more than 12 months old. The condition of a tree can change from month to month, so anything over a year old will not be as valid as a fresh report.

Eric Clapton isn't backing away from talk of retiring from the road, though he has studio time booked for what will become his next album. The only question there is whether the guitarist will complete a second tribute project to his friend JJ Cale, or set about recording all-new material.
He may, in fact, do both. The problem, however, is that original songs don't come as easy these days. "I'm just lazy," Clapton tells Rolling Stone. "When I get to 'What am I going to do for that bit?,' I stop and turn on the TV. I'm easily distracted. What I've done a lot is written songs, then forgotten them. I put them down as a voice memo, on my phone, then I lose the memo."
'The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale' found him digging deeper into the discography of a composer who penned two of the former Yardbirds and Cream guitarist's most recognizable solo hits, 1970′s 'After Midnight' and 1977′s 'Cocaine.' Clapton and Cale also recorded an album together, 2006′s 'Road to Escondido.'
Clapton says he ended up with several leftover tracks through the process of constructing 'The Breeze,' some of which were originally unpublished. "I have some time in August in the studio to complete that," he says, "and maybe start recording self-penned stuff."
As for mounting another major tour, or even another Crossroads Guitar Festival, Clapton is unwilling to commit. "I don't want to work that hard, that much, anymore," he admits. "'The Breeze' was a joy to do. I was planning to write and record another album for myself when JJ passed away. So that's the next thing I would do. Next year, I might do a couple of shows and say, 'Folks, that's it, I'm off.' Then I'll see what I make of that, whether I'm content to just go into the studio now and then and play at home for the family."

I do not understand US policy
What is the Federal Reserve doing? Keep in mind that it cannot address structural issues in the economy and cannot only boost the economy in the short term, if at all. Bernanke and co. are keeping interest rates rock bottom until at least 2014. That would be seven years of emergency measures. If you want to instill some confidence in the economy, you do not go about telling everyone the economy needs to stay in the emergency room three more years.
And by the way, if inflation is targeted at 2% and nominal interest rates are at zero for the foreseeable future, that means real interest rates are negative. Take any model and throw in negative real interest rates. The result are pretty ugly, especially if this is more than temporary. Yet this is what the Fed seems to be advocating.
And why would you need such low interest rates? A Taylor rule would call for low interest rates if inflation (or inflation expectations) are too high (correction: too low). They are not. Or if output is below potential. That may well be the case, but I do not think it is to the extend that the Fed believes it is. The rhetoric coming from the Board indicates that the potential output is simply a continuation of the trend line from before the crisis. I do not think it is adequate. The construction sector is gone, and is going to be gone for a while because of an oversupply of residences and structures. Most households suffered a significant wealth shock that is not going to recuperate soon, and consumption has shifted down. Long time unemployed are simply not employable because of sectoral reallocation. Potential GDP has suffered a permanent shock, and while it will get back to the usual trend growth, it will not get back of the previous path.
For the Fed, this means that it is currently chasing a target it will never be able to reach. Its estimate of potential GDP is much too excessive. And the difference is due to structural issues the Fed does not have the means to address.
Which brings us to fiscal policy. Temporary tax cuts of various sorts are good to address temporary weaknesses in consumption. They work best when targeted towards people with high propensities to consume. These are the poor, and more generally the liquidity constrained. These are not the rich, and certainly not everyone. And if the loss in consumption is permanent, then this cannot be address with such temporary measures. You just have to accept it and live with it. Thus: taxes need to go back up, especially for the rich, also because they got an unnecessary free ride in the past years.
And then there is the sectoral problem. Construction is in the dumps. If you want to do something about it, you target public spending towards construction. Not general tax cuts, not across the board stimulus. And the US could actually need some serious infrastructure replacement and improvements. Actually, it is the perfect time to catch up on lost time here: costs are low, interest rates are low.
Now there is of course the stimulus package. But it has had no impact because it was not sufficiently targeted towards infrastructure, It went to state governments, which just used this manna to avoid getting into debt. It went into all sort of pet projects, very few of which had anything to do with construction. And if there was some construction, it went into initiatives that have such long horizons that they are not going to help anytime soon.
So what needs to be done? Washington needs to acknowledge that the targeted path is too ambitious. Bring interest rates back up, This will entice people and businesses to do something with all the cash they are sitting on. The US Treasury needs to focus on infrastructure spending and restructure tax rates. And do not tell me we first have to wait until the presidential election is over.

You might want to rethink this claim:
"A Taylor rule would call for low interest rates if inflation (or inflation expectations) are too high"
I believe that's backwards.
Also, if the S=I lines intersect at a negative i-rate, as it appears they do right now, all that raising interest rates will do is increase the gap between S and I. Raising interest rates *lowers* the incentive to invest since it represents the opportunity cost of investment -- you seem to imply it will increase it, but where's the evidence that an increase in interest rates increases investment? You can find pos. correlations in the data since better economies tend to have higher interest rates and higher investment, but that relationship is not causal.
So raising interest rates reduces investment, and gives people an incentive to save even more. How can that cure a problem of too little investment relative the current volume of saving?
Raising interest rates right now is not the answer.

"If you want to instill some confidence in the economy, you do not go about telling everyone the economy needs to stay in the emergency room three more years."
I hardly think having the Fed just outright lie to everybody would fool many people.
And I'm with Mark on the rest of the post.

Thanks Mark, I corrected the statement about inflation and the Taylor rule. In any case, inflation is on target, thus the outcome of the statement remains valid.
As for investment: we are in a situation where there is a surplus of liquidity because there is no interesting return in investment. Higher interest rates make investing interesting. I know, this may sound backwards.
Also, the low interest rates keeps income low for retirees, and those have a high propensity to consume.
- February 11, 2012 at 10:17 AM
I am with you completely on the stimulus money. With the staggering amounts that were mentioned, one should have noticed something. Yet, except for a temporary boom in the road asphalting industry, I saw nothing.
- February 11, 2012 at 10:18 AM
There are positive signs in the economy, and the Fed can amplify them by indicating that emergency measures are not needed anymore (or as much). There is something to self-fulfilling expectations.
And besides, what if the potential output trend has indeed shifted and the Fed continues ignoring it. Are we going to stay with another decade of abnormally low interest rates? That cannot be healthy.
- February 11, 2012 at 10:42 AM
US economic policy does not make sense because we are past the midway point to the next presidential election. Not that it makes more sense at other times.
- February 11, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Ten year inflation expectations - which are basically what matters for the Taylor Rule - are 1.39 percent: http://www.clevelandfed.org/research/Data/inflation_expectations/ . GDP is well below trend. Why on Earth would you not want to have loose monetary policy now?
And "Bring interest rates back up, This will entice people and businesses to do something with all the cash they are sitting on"? This is nuts: we have people sitting on cash. Raising the interest rate on T-bills makes it more likely they will sit on the cash, not less likely. As far as infrastructure, I agree, though. It's crazy that the US has not built new transit/airports/power grids/etc. That said, net fiscal stimulus (not counting tax decreases), accounting for declines in state spending, is about zero over the recession...so it's not surprising you haven't seen any changes!

Go balls out on energy development including the pipeline. But 'progressive' politics guised under 'saving the earth' keep us from acting like grown-ups. We've been talking about energy independence for 60 years and now its within our grasp but Obama won't pull the trigger. Who would have ever thunk?

There is pretty much no use for it. Im still unsure why I would prepare it if it was free...
Here's and interesting idea for a prep: It has a negative gold cost, and a bad effect. Something like -1 hp per level up.
Darvin wrote:If you're really that strapped for cash even with black market, then you'd be sacrificing many of the items you're buying from apothecaries or other shops to afford the double-cost black market items. If you think it's really bad, then exclude artifacts from the list of items that can be sold. Other than artifacts, it's not like these are items that couldn't appear elsewhere.
he entire church is going to be changing pretty drastically soon. FYI We have this idea that we'd like to try out...
The problem with making them cost more as a balancing factor is Translocation Seal. You could make them cost a 1,000,000 gold and it wouldn't really matter. It still helps, but it isn't a foolproof solution.
Extra Elites isn't bad, Apothocary is better. I'd rather replace quest items.
