Constructions of embedded caps are given in Fig. 12.6 where δ is determined according to table 12.5, b» δ, c» 0.5 · δ. These caps require no special attachment to the casing, so no holes in the caps, threaded holes in the casing, or screws are needed. However, caps of this construction may only be used where the joint between the casing and the cover lies in the plane of the shaft axis. Besides, bearing assemblies with embedded caps become more elaborate in shape. It is explained by necessity to adjust radial clearances in the bearing.
