SKF FSNL series split plummer block housings consist of a base and a cap joined by bolts that house the shaft bearing. This type groups part numbers such as FSNL 218, FSNL 515-612 or FSNL 532, which correspond to different housing sizes. Each part number has its own dimensions, so the complete designation is the key data.

The advantage of a split plummer block housing is that it opens into two halves. Removing the cap gives access to the bearing and sealing elements without dismantling the shaft or the components at its ends, which reduces maintenance downtime. That is why it is chosen for long shafts, with pulleys or couplings that should not be moved.

In the designation, some part numbers carry a single number (FSNL 218) and others two numbers separated by a hyphen (FSNL 515-612). Those numbers identify the housing size and are not the shaft diameter, so they cannot be used to deduce it. Each part number has its own support and mounting dimensions that you need to compare with your structure; if you do not have them at hand, send us the part number and we will verify them.

The housing is only one part of the assembly: the bearing, the method of fixing it to the shaft, the sealing and the lubricant are defined according to the application. Therefore, when ordering, it is advisable to indicate which bearing it will house and under what conditions it operates. Lubrication and the sealing method are chosen according to speed, temperature and the environment, such as dust or humidity.

For mounting, the base must rest on a flat, level and rigid surface, aligned with the other housings on the same shaft. Base and cap are machined as a set, so do not mix caps from one housing with bases from another. Tighten the joining and fixing bolts to the torques specified by the manufacturer and check that the shaft turns freely.
