TFL covers are closure components for split bearing housings. They are fitted at the ends of the housing and perform a key function: retaining lubricant, preventing the entry of dust, water or particles and protecting the bearing in demanding environments. In transmission lines, pumps, fans or process equipment, a suitable cover extends the service life of the assembly and reduces maintenance downtime. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this SKF line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and helps you identify the correct size for your housing.

The TFL designation reads as a family of covers for split housings. The number that follows — for example, TFL 508, TFL 509 or TFL 510 — identifies the size and the type of housing it corresponds to. It is not a universal code: each manufacturer may use its own numbering, so the exact housing reference is the starting point for choosing the cover. If your equipment has an SKF housing, the most direct approach is to send the full part number of the housing and the cover shown on the drawing or on the identification plate.

These covers are used in equipment with split housings: conveyors, mixers, centrifugal pumps, fans, mills, conveyor belts and process machinery in general. In Argentina we see them in food, cement, paper, tannery and mining plants, where dust and moisture punish bearings. Also in applications where the housing works outdoors or with frequent washdowns. The right cover does not only close: it defines the type of sealing and conditions the relubrication frequency.

To select a TFL cover, first check the housing model and its size. Then, the type of closure: a blind cover is not the same as one with a labyrinth or with a radial shaft seal, because the protection against dust and water changes. Also check the available axial clearance and the lubrication method: if the housing has a grease fitting, the cover must allow access. During mounting, clean the seating faces, check that the cover seats without forcing and check shaft alignment. A poorly fitted cover can cause leaks or overheating.

As for equivalents, covers are chosen by size and type of housing, not by brand. If the housing is SKF, the corresponding TFL cover maintains the mounting dimensions. If the housing is from another brand, the outer diameter, holes and height must be compared. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF and can guide you if your housing has no visible identification.

To request a quote, send us by WhatsApp the cover part number (for example, TFL 508 or TFL 515) or the housing model. If you do not have it at hand, a photo and the main dimensions help to identify it. We work with SKF and other housing lines, and we can advise you on the option that best suits your equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales handles technical inquiries from all over the country.
