SKF SNH split plummer block housings: codes

SKF SNH housings are split plummer block housings for bearings mounted on a sleeve or directly on the shaft. They open in half, so the shaft is laid in already assembled and the bearing is inspected without dismantling anything else. In the catalog they appear next to the SNL housings, the more recent series, so it is worth knowing which of the two the machine has before ordering spares or accessories.

The double number in the designation

In SNH 507-606, the letters name the series and the two numbers show that the same body suits two bearing sizes from different series. They are not two housings or a range of shafts. SNH 505 and SNH 509, by contrast, carry a single number because for that size there is no second alternative.

After the size there may be a block after a slash, as in SNH 507-606/VZ2P3. It describes a particular execution of the same housing and is part of the reference. As with every split housing, the code does not include the bearing, the sleeve or the seals.

Before replacing it

Base and cap are machined together and form a pair: they are not mixed with the halves of another housing, even of the same size. If one of the two parts is damaged, the whole housing is replaced. The factory marks on base and cap allow them to be reassembled in the same position.

For the new housing to take the place of the old one, measure the height of the shaft centre above the base, the distance between the anchor holes and the bolt diameter. If you move from SNH to another series, also confirm that the seals and rings you have are those of that series.

To quote

Send us the designation cast on the housing, with the final block if it has one, and the quantity. Add the designation of the bearing, that of the sleeve and the shaft diameter, and tell us whether the shaft passes through or ends inside and whether the support is locating or non-locating. With those details the complete list is put together: housing, seals, rings and end cover.

Is SNH 507-606 two housings?

No. It is a single body that accepts two bearing sizes from different series.

Can I replace only the cap?

It is not advisable. Base and cap form a pair machined together.

Can an SNH be replaced by an SNL?

Check centre height, base and holes, and use the accessories of the series you fit.
