The SKF SNH split plummer block housing is a housing split into two halves that accommodates bearings with a tapered or cylindrical bore. It is used to mount shafts in machine structures, allowing bearing replacement without disassembling the shaft. Its design facilitates installation and maintenance in equipment where access is limited. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line with the technical backing in the field.
The designation SNH identifies the series of medium-section split plummer block housings. The number that follows indicates the size, which corresponds to the bore diameter of the bearing it accommodates. The suffix TSN/H6 refers to the seal kit supplied with the housing, consisting of lip seals and flinger rings. It is important to verify that the seal kit is suitable for the working environment, since protection against dust and moisture depends on it.
These housings are used in a wide variety of industrial applications: conveyors, mills, mixers, pumps, fans and process equipment. In Argentina, they are common in the food, cement and mining industries and in aggregate processing plants. Their ability to withstand moderate radial and axial loads makes them suitable for transmission shafts and rollers. The split version allows the bearing to be replaced without dismounting other equipment components, which reduces downtime.
To correctly select an SNH housing, consider the shaft diameter, the bearing type (with tapered or cylindrical bore), the load and the environmental conditions. The TSN/H6 seal is suitable for environments with moderate dust and moisture; for more severe conditions, other seal types may be required. During mounting, it is essential to align the two halves of the housing and ensure uniform tightening of the bolts. Bearing lubrication must be carried out according to the manufacturer's recommendations, and it is important to verify internal clearance after mounting.
SKF SNH housings are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimension standard. When looking for a replacement, it is necessary to compare not only the shaft diameter but also the center height, the hole spacing and the seal type. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the SKF brand as part of its product line, and can advise you on equivalence with other references.
