Description

SKF SAF 217 H-38 is a sAF split plummer block housing reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for SAF 217 H-38 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The SKF SAF split plummer block housing is a bearing fixing component that is divided into two halves, which facilitates mounting and dismounting without disassembling the shaft. It is used in equipment with long or hard-to-access shafts, where maintenance must be quick and safe. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for industrial applications in Argentina.

The designation SAF … H-# is interpreted as follows: SAF identifies the series of split plummer block housings; the first number (represented by #) indicates the housing size, which is related to the shaft diameter and load capacity; the suffix H-# corresponds to the adapter sleeve that is included or specified to fix the bearing to the shaft. For example, the code SAF 217 H-38 combines a size 217 housing with an H-38 adapter sleeve. Knowing this structure allows you to order the correct replacement.

These housings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, paper and aggregate processing, among others. They are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and industrial fans. In Argentina, they are found in production plants and in equipment operating in dusty or humid environments, where robust fastening and simple maintenance are required.

To select the right housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of bearing it will house (deep groove ball bearing, cylindrical roller bearing or spherical roller bearing), and the load and speed conditions. Mounting must ensure correct alignment between the two halves; it is recommended to lubricate the contact surfaces and tighten the fixing screws according to the specified torque. The housing seal protects against the entry of contaminants and loss of lubricant.

Regarding equivalences, SKF SAF split plummer block housings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. It is important to verify the complete designation and critical dimensions before replacing one housing with another. If you need assistance, the technical team at MR Accesorios Industriales can help you identify the right equivalence.

To request a quote for the housing you need, send us the complete code by WhatsApp. If you do not have it at hand, we can help you identify it from the shaft and bearing measurements. MR Accesorios Industriales has more than 80 years of experience in the field and advises you so that you choose the correct option.
