End covers Fig. 11

To protect the bearing arrangement at the end A 5 1
of a shaft, and to avoid the possibility of an
accident caused by an exposed shaft end, end
covers are available for all composite Y-bearing
units and for most cast Y-bearing units.The end
covers are made from polypropylene (PP) , have
good resistance to most chemicals and can
withstand operating temperatures up to 100 °C.
They can be snapped into the recesses provided
in the housing bore.
Three different end cover designs are
available:
• ECY, a black end cover for shaft ends
(† fig. 10)
• ECW († fig. 12) for composite, cast iron,
zinc-coated and stainless steel SKF Food Line Fig. 12
Y-bearing units
• ECL (fig. 13) for some of the composite SKF
Food Line Y-bearing units identified by the
suffix L in the designation

In the product tables, the end covers are listed
together with those units that can accommodate
them. The designation of the end cover is listed
together with the distance A 5 that the end cover
protrudes from the housing († fig. 11).
For additional information about the end cov-
ers for Y-bearing units for the food industry
