SAF Split Plummer Block Housings

The SAF split plummer block housing is a cast-iron housing split into two halves for self-aligning bearings, usually mounted on an adapter sleeve. Opening the cap provides access to the bearing without disassembling the shaft or transmission, simplifying maintenance on continuous-duty equipment. It is a common solution for medium and large shaft sizes.

SKF part numbers in this category begin with the prefix FSAF, as in FSAF 216, FSAF 218, FSAF 220, FSAF 22216 or FSAF 22517. The following number identifies the size of the housing and the bearing it accommodates, not the shaft diameter; therefore, for a replacement, provide the complete part number and the bearing in use. Additional letters and numbers in variants define the execution and are always quoted with the base part number.

To select the right housing, define the bearing and adapter sleeve, shaft diameter, mounting method to the base, sealing type, and working environment. Applications include conveyors, mills, pumps, fans, mixers, and process machinery where loads are high and each hour of downtime is costly. They are completed with closing caps and retaining rings according to the axial positioning required by the assembly.
