SC type pedestal bearings are mainly used for electric machines.
The SC type of bearings has been designed in such a way that it can also be used with the range of E supports. Shaft heights and drilling pattern of the bottom side, for example, correspond mostly to those of the E type bearings. Frictional heat is dissipated by radiation and convection in most of cases. Into the shell could take place two lubricant cooling devices made of seawater-resistant material and built-in deflectors to increase cooling performance.
