The SAF split plummer block housing is a bearing mounting component that simplifies assembly and disassembly without removing the shaft. It is used in rotating equipment where fast maintenance is key, such as pumps, fans and conveyors. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this SKF line, an official brand that MR carries, with technical advice to choose the right configuration for the application.
The designation FSAF …/C… is interpreted as follows: the letters FSAF identify the SKF SAF split plummer block housing series. The number that follows (for example, 22520 in FSAF 22520/C3) indicates the size and type of bearing it houses, and the suffix /C3 indicates an increased internal bearing clearance, according to the standard. This nomenclature allows you to select the correct housing for each shaft and load.
These housings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining and aggregate processing, in equipment such as conveyor belts, mills, mixers and centrifugal pumps. In Argentina, they are common in production plants where weather resistance and easy access for inspection are required. Their split design allows the bearing to be replaced without disassembling the shaft or the transmission, reducing downtime.
To select an SAF housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the bearing type (ball or roller) and the operating conditions: load, speed and contamination. Sealing is critical: choose labyrinths or oil seals depending on the environment. During mounting, check alignment and internal clearance; proper lubrication and controlled bolt tightening ensure long service life.
SAF housings from different brands are usually dimensionally interchangeable, but always verify tolerances and the sealing system. SKF offers a wide range with fastening and material options. If you need to replace an existing housing, compare the critical dimensions and consult our technical team to avoid premature failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the /C3 suffix mean on an SAF housing?
- The /C3 suffix indicates that the housed bearing has a greater than normal internal clearance. This is useful in applications where there are temperature differences between the shaft and the housing, or where thermal expansion must be compensated for.
- How do I know which SAF housing I need for my machine?
- You need to know the shaft diameter, the bearing type and the load and speed conditions. With that data, we can identify the right part number. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will help you select it.
- Are SKF SAF housings compatible with other brands?
- In general, SAF housings are dimensionally interchangeable between brands, but seals and tolerances may vary. Always verify the critical dimensions and consult our technical team before replacing.
