The running accuracy and low operating temperature and thus performance and service life of the bearing application depend on the machining quality of abutment surfaces and bearing seats.
Standard values for form and position tolerances are shown in the following tables.
| Property | Symbol for tolerances | Tolerance value | Permissible form deviation | |
| P4 (HG) | P2 (UP) | |||
| Roundness |  | t1 | IT1 | IT0 |
| Conicity (taper) |  | t1 | IT1 | IT0 |
| Angularity |  | t2 | IT1 | IT0 |
| Axial runout |  | t3 | IT1 | IT0 |
| Concentricity (misalignment) |  | t4 | IT3 | IT3 |
| Nominal diameter (mm) | Tolerance quality (µm) | |||
| IT0 | IT1 | IT2 | IT3 | |
| > 6 - 10 | 0,6 | 1 | 1,5 | 2,5 |
| > 10 - 18 | 0,8 | 1,2 | 2 | 3 |
| > 18 - 30 | 1 | 1,5 | 2,5 | 4 |
| > 30 - 50 | 1 | 1,5 | 2,5 | 4 |
| > 50 - 80 | 1,2 | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| > 80 - 120 | 1,5 | 2,5 | 4 | 6 |
The quality of the bearing seats and correct fits are of major importance for the functioning of a precise bearing arrangement.
