The 'X' signifies the set will give an extra . 001” (0.25mm) oil clearance on a standard size shaft when compared to the H-STD set. The wall size of these HX-STD bearings is . 0005” (0.13mm) thinner than the H-STD bearings, in all other respects the HX set is identical to the H-STD set.

Thanks Todd! Funny thing I emailed them a few years back about mains as well.....

I do understand the difference between the bearings but what I don't know is the target oil clearance that each are manufactured to. In other words, are the "H" bearings giving you a .002" oil clearance and the "HX" giving you .003"? Or is it .0015" and .0025" etc.

All the best, Jon
