The SKF split plummer block housing of the SSNHD series is a solid-base component used to house and secure bearings in rotating equipment. Its two-half design facilitates mounting and dismounting without the need to completely dismantle the shaft, which simplifies maintenance tasks. It is a robust solution for industrial applications requiring high rigidity and load capacity.
The SSNHD series designation is interpreted in blocks: the initial letters identify the category of split plummer block housings with solid base, and the number that follows — as in SSNHD 518-615/MS1 or SSNHD 520-617/MS2 — indicates the size and the combination of shaft diameter and bearing outside diameter. The MS suffix indicates construction variants, such as the sealing type or the locking configuration. To choose the correct part number, it is essential to cross-reference this data with the dimensions of the bearing to be mounted.
These housings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, paper and material handling, where equipment operates with high loads and demanding environments. In Argentina, they are commonly found in conveyors, mills, mixers and large centrifugal pumps. Their solid base allows them to be firmly anchored to the structure, absorbing vibrations and ensuring the alignment of the shaft-bearing assembly.
To select the right housing, verify that the shaft diameter and the bearing outside diameter match those indicated in the designation. During mounting, ensure precise alignment between the two halves and apply the recommended torque to the connecting screws. Lubrication must be compatible with the bearing and the operating conditions; in dusty or humid environments, consider variants with reinforced sealing. Cleaning the contact surfaces prevents premature wear.
SKF housings of the SSNHD series can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. However, tolerances and materials may vary between manufacturers, so it is recommended to verify dimensional and load compatibility before replacing a component. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice to find the right equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the correct SSNHD part number for my bearing?
- You need the shaft diameter and the bearing outside diameter. The SSNHD part number combines both data in its designation. Send us those values by WhatsApp and we will tell you the corresponding variant.
- Is this housing suitable for environments with a lot of dirt?
- Yes, but it is advisable to select the variant with suitable sealing. The MS suffix may indicate specific configurations. Consult us about the options available for severe conditions.
- Can I replace a housing from another brand with this SKF one?
- In general, if the standardized dimensions match, it is possible. Still verify tolerances and load capacity. We advise you so that the replacement is safe and long-lasting.
