The SKF SAF split plummer block is a bearing mounting component that allows the assembly to be mounted and dismounted without dismantling the shaft. It is used in equipment with long or hard-to-reach shafts, where fast maintenance is key. Its split design makes bearing inspection and replacement easier, reducing downtime in industrial plants.

The designation SAFS … KAX… is read in two parts: the number after SAFS indicates the housing size, and the KAX suffix identifies the sealing type and the series of the bearing it houses. For example, SAFS 048 KAX9 corresponds to a housing for a 48 mm shaft, while SAFS 23048 KAX9 is for a bearing of the 23048 series. The KAX suffix defines the single-lip seal, suitable for environments with dust and moderate humidity.

These housings are used in belt conveyors, mills, mixers, centrifugal pumps and transmission equipment in food, cement, mining and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed industry and in milling plants, where shafts subjected to bending require supports that absorb misalignments and make bearing replacement easier without stopping the production line.

To select the housing, check the shaft diameter and the type of bearing you are going to mount: the SAFS accepts deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings or spherical roller bearings, depending on the series. The KAX seal protects against contaminants; if the environment is very aggressive, consider additional seals. During mounting, ensure the alignment of both halves and lubricate according to the chosen bearing. Internal clearance is adjusted with the lock rings.

SAF housings are interchangeable between manufacturers that follow the same standardized dimensions, but always check the complete part number and the bearing tolerances. Not all suffixes are equivalent: the sealing type and the bearing series must match to guarantee the fit. If you have any doubts, ask us with the exact part number of your current housing.
