Bearing eccentrics are always round, just off centered. They tighten equally right or left. The direction of rotation that the collar is locked always depends on the direction of rotation of the shaft, or if the shaft is stationary, and the bearing rotates around the shaft, it would depend on the direction of rotation of bearing around shaft. If shaft rotates, lock in same direction as rotation of shaft. If bearing rotates around shaft, lock in opposite direction of rotation of bearing.
