quick help please !

guys I have 2 bearings, one is 5306/C3 and the other is 5306-AC3.

are they the same ? what the A stands for ?

appreciate if you can help ,,,

They are NOT the same. From what I know, A means that it is "double row" and the other would just be "single-shielded"

Also if you want to look further, one is made by NTN (5306/C3) and the other is made by SKF (5306-AC3). Note that the one made by SKF is discontinued.

Hope that helps.
