The SYR NH housing with insert bearing SKF is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing, already mounted and lubricated. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where a compact, self-aligning unit with good sealing is needed. It is common in conveyors, fans, mixers and agricultural or process machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you choose the correct size.
The SYR NH designation is read in parts: SYR identifies the category of housings with insert bearing, NH indicates a construction variant with specific lubrication and sealing, and the number in the middle —as in SYR 2.7/16 NH, SYR 2.15/16 NH or SYR 3.7/16 NH— corresponds to the shaft size in inches. That figure is the one you must confirm before requesting a quote, because it defines the insert bore diameter and the housing size.
In Argentine industry these housings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, dryers, centrifugal fans and milling equipment. They are also seen in the agricultural sector, in food plants and in packaging lines. The advantage is that they come assembled: the bearing does not have to be mounted in the housing, which reduces installation times and assembly errors in the plant.
To select correctly, first look at the shaft diameter and the type of load. The SYR NH series is designed for inch shafts and moderate loads. Check that the housing has the right sealing for the environment: if there is dust, water or frequent washdowns, a more closed protection is advisable. The insert lubrication is permanent from the factory, but in service it is advisable to check the condition of the seal and the operating temperature.
As for mounting, the housing is fixed to the structure with bolts and the shaft is secured with the set screws of the inner ring. It is important to align the base well so as not to load the insert sideways. The self-alignment of the unit absorbs small deviations, but does not replace a well-leveled bed. If the equipment vibrates or heats up, check the alignment and the tightening of the set screws.
Equivalences between brands are handled by shaft size and housing type, not by the exact part number. A SYR NH can be replaced by units from other brands with the same size and configuration, but the housing dimensions, hole spacing and sealing type must always be verified. Send us the complete part number by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will confirm the available alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know what size of SYR NH housing I need?
- You have to measure the shaft diameter where the housing is mounted. The number in the designation, such as 2.7/16 or 3.7/16, indicates that size in inches. If the shaft is worn, measure in the bearing support area and ask us by WhatsApp.
- Does this housing come with the insert bearing included?
- Yes, the SYR NH is an assembled unit: it includes the cast iron housing and the ball insert bearing already mounted and lubricated. You do not need to buy the parts separately. Still, verify the complete part number when requesting a quote.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- In general yes, if the shaft size and housing dimensions match. Do not go by the part number alone: compare hole spacing, center height and sealing type. Send us the data and we will help you find the equivalence.
