56 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News Cooper Receives LR Type Approval for Bearings Cooper Bearings Group said that full Lloyds Type Approval has been granted for five years for all Cooper split to the shaft marine propulsion bearings up to 600mm (24 in.) group sizes. The approval covers 01 and 02 Series bear- ings BCP (bearing, cartridge and pedestal) BCF (bearing, cartridge and flange housing for bulkheads) and Z- Line (bearing, cartridge and pedestal). In Cooper nomenclature, the 01 Series are medium duty bearings and the 02 Series are heavy duty. In the marine sec- tor, Cooper bearings are typically speci- fied for propulsion shafting or waterjet drives, although the products can be used on winches and fans or where a bearing is in a trapped position. The split to the shaft construction of the Cooper bearing is designed to provide maintenance and inspection savings, as no other equipment has to be removed to inspect or maintain the bearing.
