The SKF SNL split plummer block housing is a housing split into two halves that accommodates bearings with a tapered or cylindrical bore, making mounting and dismounting easier without dismantling the shaft. It is used in power transmission equipment where maintenance must be fast and reliable. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand for industrial applications in Argentina.
The designation SNLD …/MS… reads as follows: SNLD identifies the series of split plummer block housing with a lip seal and a groove for a thermometer; the first number indicates the base size of the housing and the second, separated by a hyphen, the shaft diameter for which it is intended. The suffix /MS1 indicates the type of seal incorporated. For example, SNLD 512-610/MS1 corresponds to a housing for a 610 mm shaft, while SNLD 513-611/MS1 and SNLD 518-615/MS1 cover other sizes. Always verify the complete part number before ordering.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process equipment in food, cement, mining and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina they are common in the oilseed industry, in milling plants and in material handling systems where access for maintenance is limited. Their split construction allows the bearing to be replaced without moving the shaft or uncoupling the transmission, which reduces downtime.
To select the housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the bearing type (tapered or cylindrical), the expected radial and axial load, and the environmental conditions. The MS1 seal protects against dust and moisture; if there is exposure to liquids, evaluate additional seals. During mounting, verify the alignment of the halves and the uniform tightening of the bolts. Lubrication must be suitable for the housed bearing and the internal clearance is adjusted according to the bearing type.
SKF SNL housings are interchangeable with other brands that manufacture split housings of standardized dimensions, as long as the shaft diameter, the center height and the distance between mounting holes match. Do not invent equivalences: compare the drawings or consult a specialist. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on compatibility with your current equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the /MS1 suffix mean on an SNL housing?
- The /MS1 suffix indicates the type of seal that the housing comes with from the factory. In the SNLD series, this code identifies a lip seal with a groove for a thermometer, intended for environments with moderate dust or moisture.
- Can I mount a tapered roller bearing in an SNLD housing?
- Yes, SNLD housings are designed to accommodate bearings with a tapered or cylindrical bore, depending on the model. Verify that the bearing is compatible with the shaft diameter and the housing type before assembling the unit.
- How do I know if an SNL housing from another brand is compatible?
- Compare the main dimensions: shaft diameter, center height and distance between mounting holes. If they match those of the original housing, they are likely interchangeable. If in doubt, consult us with the part number and the dimensions.
