The SKF SNH split plummer block housing is a split housing that facilitates the mounting and dismounting of bearings on shafts. It is used in equipment where access is limited or quick maintenance is required. Its design allows the bearing to be installed without disassembling the shaft, which reduces downtime. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for industrial applications in Argentina.

The SNH designation is read as split plummer block housing of the SNH series. The numbers that follow indicate the size: for example, SNH 505 corresponds to size 5 with a 5/8" shaft diameter, while SNH 506-605 accepts two shaft diameters (1" and 5/8") depending on the bearing mounted. Suffixes may indicate sealing or fixing variants, but it is always advisable to verify the complete code with the manufacturer.

These housings are used in conveyors, mills, mixers, pumps and fans. They are common in food, cement, mining and aggregate processing plants, where dust and moisture demand robust housings. They are also used on low and medium speed transmission shafts. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to industries that need reliable spare parts for maintenance.

To select an SNH housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of bearing (spherical roller, ball, etc.) and the environmental conditions. Sealing is key: choose labyrinths or oil seals depending on contamination. Lubrication must be adequate and assembly requires proper alignment of the halves to avoid parasitic loads. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tightening the bolts.

SNH housings are interchangeable between brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When looking for a replacement, compare the complete designation and the shaft and height measurements. Not all variants are equivalent: verify the type of fixing and the sealing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility with other brands.
