SKF PL end covers are closure components for split bearing housings. They are fitted at the ends of the housing to retain lubricant and block the entry of dust, water or particles. Their design allows simple mounting and reliable fit on the housing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell them as part of our line of housing accessories, with advice to choose the correct size according to the housing and the working environment.

The PL designation follows a numerical logic: the number that appears after the letters identifies the size or the construction variant. Therefore, one PL cover is not interchangeable with another of a different number: each code corresponds to a different diameter or housing type. To select the correct one, you must cross-reference the cover code with that of the housing where it is mounted. If you have doubts, send us both codes and we will verify it.

These covers are used in equipment with split housings: pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, mills and continuous process machines. In food plants, paper mills, cement plants and metallurgical facilities in Argentina, closing the housing is key to prevent lubricant from escaping and contaminants from entering. They are also replaced during preventive maintenance when the original cover is deformed, lost or no longer seals properly.

To choose well, check the condition of the housing and the type of sealing the equipment needs. An environment with abrasive dust is not the same as one with pressurized water or steam. The cover must seat without forcing and allow regreasing if the housing has a duct. During mounting, clean the surface, check that there are no burrs and fit the cover in the correct orientation. A poorly seated cover will not seal even if it is the exact size.

SKF PL end covers can replace those of other split housing manufacturers, but interchangeability is not automatic: diameter, height and fastening system must be compared. Often the cover code changes depending on the manufacturer even if the housing is equivalent. Therefore, before replacing one cover with another brand, it is advisable to validate the critical dimensions. At MR we help you with that comparison if you send us the data of the original housing.

If you need PL end covers for an SKF housing, send us the complete code on WhatsApp. With that data we verify the variant and send you the quote. We work with the line of housing accessories and can guide you if the code is incomplete or if the housing has an old designation. MR Accesorios Industriales, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
