Abstract
A bearing apparatus is provided including an improved end cover. The end cover has a cup element for receipt over the end of a shaft supported by the bearing apparatus. An arm element extends from the cup element and may define a slot for receipt of a suitable threaded member, such as the bearing's lubricant fitting. When the lubricant fitting is tightened, the end cover will be maintained in the desired position on the bearing housing.
