Default Another Bearing Question: Part Number - Suffix?

I bought some SKF bearings and the suffix part number is "XXXXX 2LS JEM"

"2LS" - both side seals
"JEM" - What is JEM?

Anyone who is familiar with bearing please explains "JEM"


If the bearings are run-of-the-mill deep groove radial bearings, my
educated guess is:
J = pressed steel cage
EM = electric motor quality (the bearing will run quieter than the
normal standard)
