The main dimensions of the shell with plain cylindrical bore (EF.C.) and of the two-
lobe bore shell (EF.Y.) are similar to the dimensions of the shell type EF.L. (plain
cylindrical bore, loose oil ring lubrication) shown in the catalogue.
Information on bearings with fixed oil ring, four-lobe bore and radial tilting pads
available upon request.
1) Seal diameters (DS) are possible with every shaft diameter of one size.
2) This dimension is about 3 mm larger in case of insulated bearings.
3) Bore available on both sides.
4) Dimension refers to design with loose oil ring.
