FAG SNS-Z-D series housings are split housings that support and secure bearings in rotating equipment. They are used to mount shafts on metal structures, simplify maintenance and protect the bearing from the environment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right housing for the bearing and the application.

The SNS-Z-D designation is read in blocks: SNS identifies the family of split housings for bearings; the number that follows, as in SNS3036-Z-D or SNS2264-Z-D, indicates the size and series of the bearing it houses; Z indicates the variant with lateral sealing; D corresponds to the version with a specific seal or closure. Each combination defines the housing for a particular bearing, so it is best to request a quote with the complete code.

In Argentine industry, these housings are used in conveyors, mills, mixers, pumps, fans and continuous process machines. They provide rigidity to the assembly, allow the shaft to be aligned and simplify bearing replacement without dismantling the entire machine. They are common in food, cement, steel and aggregate processing plants, where dust and moisture demand a robust housing.

To select the housing, check that the bearing matches the series and size indicated in the code. Check the sealing: the Z variant with seals helps contain lubricant and block contaminants. During mounting, rest the housing on a flat, rigid surface, check shaft alignment and tighten the bolts progressively. Lubrication must be suitable for the bearing and the service conditions.

FAG housings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same housing standard and dimensions. Equivalence is established by the bearing code and the housing dimensions, not by the trade name. If you need to replace an existing housing, send us the code stamped on the part or the bearing dimensions and we will confirm the corresponding reference.

To request a quote for the housing you need, write to us on WhatsApp with the complete code, for example SNS30/500-Z-D or SNS3040-Z-D. You can also send us a photo of the nameplate or the mounted housing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we reply shortly with availability and alternatives for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify the FAG housing I need?
Look for the code stamped on the housing or in the equipment documentation. The SNS-Z-D designation includes the size and series of the bearing. If you cannot find it, send us the bearing dimensions or a photo and we will help you identify it.
Are SNS-Z-D housings suitable for bearings from other brands?
Yes, as long as the bearing has the same dimensions and housing type. Interchangeability is defined by standardized dimensions, not by brand. Consult us with the bearing code and we will confirm compatibility.
What maintenance does a split housing require?
It is recommended to check bolt tightness, verify the condition of the seals and relubricate according to the equipment plan. If there are leaks or noise, check alignment and bearing wear. A properly mounted housing reduces vibration and extends service life.
