FRB covers are axial locating components placed in split bearing housings to retain the outer ring and prevent displacement. They are used in equipment with shafts that transmit mainly radial loads, where the bearing must remain positioned without blocking thermal expansion. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with advice to choose the correct size according to the housing and the mounted bearing.

The FRB designation reads as a category of standardized covers: the letters identify the series and the numbers that follow indicate the bearing outer diameter and the housing width. For example, FRB 2/120 corresponds to a cover for a bearing with a 120 mm outer diameter, while FRB 3.5/52 and FRB 3.5/72 share the same housing width (3.5) and vary in diameter. Likewise, FRB 4/62, FRB 4/80 and FRB 4/90 belong to the width 4 series. This logic allows you to quickly identify the cover that fits an SKF split housing.

These covers are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina: grain and mineral conveyors, mills, mixers, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyor belts and process equipment in food and beverage plants. They also appear in old or hard-to-access machines where a damaged cover needs to be replaced without changing the complete housing. As a locating component, their function is to keep the bearing in position and simplify assembly and disassembly of the unit.

To select the correct cover, take into account the bearing outer diameter and the width of the split housing. The FRB designation already includes both data, but it is advisable to verify that the housing is compatible with the series. During assembly, make sure the contact surfaces are clean and free of burrs, and that the cover seats evenly. Bearing lubrication does not depend on the cover, but an incorrectly placed cover can allow contaminants to enter. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

SKF FRB covers can be interchanged with those from other manufacturers that use the same standardized designation, although tolerances and surface treatment may vary. Therefore, when replacing a cover, it is advisable to compare the critical dimensions and the material. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on the equivalence with other brands, without the need to change the housing. Interchangeability is possible when the outer diameter and width match, but always verify the fit on the equipment.
