Q: What does C3 mean on a 6005 bearing?

Short answer: `C3` on a 6005 means increased radial internal clearance (for heat or interference fits). The boundary dimensions stay 25 × 47 × 12 mm. Suffixes are not interchangeable: the same size with a different suffix behaves differently under load, heat or contamination.
