SNL split plummer block housing

The SNL split plummer block housing is a housing unit split into two halves used to mount bearings on rotating shafts. The advantage of the split design is that the bearing is installed and removed without dismantling the shaft or the drive, which is key for equipment maintenance. To select it, consider the shaft diameter, the type and size of the bearing it will house, the mounting position, and the load and environmental conditions. The housing is bolted to the base through its two halves and the assembly is closed with bolts, so the bearing remains supported and protected.

The series available in this line are SNL, SNLN, and SNLD. The SNL code identifies the standard split plummer block housing in the family, designed for deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and spherical roller bearings depending on the combination. The SNLN variant is a narrower design, useful where axial space is limited. The SNLD is distinguished by a reinforced construction, suitable for more demanding requirements. The numbers following the letters indicate the housing size and the shaft range each size accepts; therefore, the complete code, for example SNL 515-612 K7, defines the exact part.

These housings are used in power transmission equipment, conveyors, process machinery, fans, pumps, and lifting systems, among others. Because they are split, they allow inspection or replacement of the bearing on site, reducing downtime. They are combined with end covers, radial shaft seals, and mounting accessories to protect the bearing from dust, moisture, and lubricant loss, depending on the operating environment.

At MR Accesorios Industriales SRL we work with 117 SKF SNL split plummer block housing references, with over 80 years of experience in industrial distribution in Buenos Aires, Argentina. If you need to replace a housing, the most useful data for a quote is the complete code marked on the part; if you don't have it on hand, send us the shaft diameter, the bearing it houses, and a photo or sketch of the mounting. We can also look for an equivalent series or size if the original code is not available.

To move forward with your quote, write to us via WhatsApp or email indicating the code, quantity, and, if applicable, the SNL, SNLN, or SNLD series you need. With this data we will confirm the reference and compatible alternatives within the bearing housing line.
