The SAF split plummer block housing is a two-piece housing that mounts onto the shaft to support bearings, especially in applications where access is limited. It is used in power transmission equipment, such as conveyors, mills and pumps. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry the SKF line, with which you can equip your machines with a component of a recognized brand.
The SAW designation identifies the SKF SAF series split plummer block housings. The number that follows, as in the example SAW 528, indicates the size and housing capacity. Any suffixes that may appear in the complete code refer to sealing variants, mounting type or housing configuration. To choose the correct one, take into account the shaft diameter and the bearing it will house.
These housings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining and chemical processing in Argentina. They are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers and grinding equipment. Their split design allows assembly and disassembly without dismantling the shaft, which simplifies maintenance in plants where space is limited.
To select the housing, verify the series of the bearing you are going to mount and the shaft diameter. Sealing is key: choose the appropriate protection according to the environment (dust, moisture, temperature). During assembly, ensure the alignment of both halves and the correct tightening of the bolts. Lubrication must be the one recommended for the bearing and the service conditions.
SKF SAF housings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. Although the main dimensions usually match, always verify the tolerances and the sealing system before replacing an existing housing. Interchangeability is not always complete; consult us if you have doubts.
