The SKF SONL split housing is a bearing mounting component supplied in two halves, which makes installation on existing shafts easier without dismantling the equipment. It is used to house bearings in applications where access is limited or quick maintenance is required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right configuration according to shaft diameter and bearing type.
The SONL series designation is completed by the number indicating the housing size and the suffix defining sealing or fastening variants. For example, in SOFN 228 BFK7, the number 228 identifies the housing size and the BFK7 suffix indicates a specific sealing and fastening configuration. Knowing these codes lets you select the housing that matches the bearing and the working conditions.
These housings are used in power transmission equipment such as conveyors, mills, mixers and industrial fans. In Argentina, they are common in food, cement and petrochemical plants, where robustness and ease of maintenance are required. Their split design allows the bearing to be replaced without dismantling the entire shaft, reducing downtime.
To select the right housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the bearing type (cylindrical rollers, balls, etc.) and the environmental conditions. The sealing must be chosen according to the presence of dust, moisture or high temperatures. During assembly, check the alignment of the halves and the axial clearance recommended by the manufacturer. Correct lubrication and tightening of the fastening screws are key to long-lasting performance.
SKF SONL housings can be interchanged with products from other brands that follow the same standardized dimensions. It is essential to verify the mounting dimensions and load capacity before replacing an existing housing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on compatibility with other lines and help you find the best option for your equipment.
