The SNL split plummer block housing is a housing split horizontally into two or three pieces, designed to hold a spherical roller bearing. The split allows it to be mounted and removed without having to take out the entire shaft, which is key on long or heavy shafts where that is not always possible.
The SNL designation is followed by a three-digit number that identifies the size of the base and of the bearing it holds, and sometimes by suffixes that indicate sealing variants, housing material or the position of the locating plate. The same housing number can often be combined with different bearings depending on the exact shaft diameter you need.
It is used in belt conveyors, large industrial fans, mills, mixers and in general on any long horizontal shaft that needs an intermediate or end support point, especially when the shaft may have some misalignment due to deflection or mounting tolerance.
The self-aligning bearing inside is what gives the assembly the ability to tolerate angular misalignment of the shaft without transmitting that misalignment as extra load to the rollers. When ordering the replacement, it is advisable to confirm both the housing number and the bearing mounted inside it, because it is not always the same across different installations.
The SNL series, with its two- or three-piece system and its standard base, has equivalents of comparable size from other split plummer block housing manufacturers, although the sealing system and construction variants change from one brand to another. Confirm the complete housing number before ordering an equivalent, because the same base number can have variants in height or hole position.
Send us the housing number —or the shaft diameter if you don't have it— via WhatsApp and we will confirm which bearing it takes. MR Accesorios Industriales quotes SNL SKF housings and equivalents.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the SNL housing come split into two or three pieces?
- So it can be mounted and removed without taking out the entire shaft. On long or heavy shafts, dismantling the whole shaft to change a housing is not always possible.
- Does the SNL housing come with the bearing included?
- The housing is the shell; the self-aligning bearing inside is ordered separately according to the exact shaft diameter. Tell us the size and we will tell you which bearing corresponds.
- Does MR manufacture split plummer block housings in addition to selling SKF ones?
- Yes, but they are different products. This part number is a genuine SKF housing and is quoted as SKF. Separately, we manufacture our own split plummer block housings under our brand, EMMAR, in the SN, SNL, SONL, SAF, FNL, TVN and 722500 series.
