The Timken LO series bearing housing seal is a sealing component that mounts in 500/600 series split plummer block housings, also known as SNT or FSNT. Its function is to retain lubricant inside the housing and block the entry of dust, water and particles, protecting the bearing and extending its service life in demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line.

The designation of these seals reads as LO followed by three digits. The number indicates the size of the housing it is compatible with: for example, LO211 corresponds to a 500/600 series housing for a 55 mm shaft bearing, while other codes cover different shaft sizes. Suffixes or variants may indicate the lip material type or the seal design, but it is always advisable to verify compatibility with the housing and the bearing before requesting a quote.

These seals are used in equipment with split plummer block housings operating under conditions of dirt, moisture or frequent washdown. Industries such as food, cement, mining, steel and agriculture use them in conveyors, elevators, mixers, mills and pumps. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to production plants, maintenance workshops and machinery manufacturers that need reliable spare parts for their lines.

To select the correct seal, take into account the housing code and the shaft diameter. The seal must match the housing groove and the lip must rest on the shaft or the sleeve without deforming. During assembly, verify that the surfaces are clean and free of burrs; lubricate the lip with the same grease as the bearing and make sure the seal sits properly in the lower and upper halves of the housing. Correct alignment prevents leaks and premature wear.

Timken LO series seals are interchangeable with those of other brands that make equivalent split plummer block housings, as long as the housing dimensions and shaft diameter match. When requesting a quote, indicate the full seal code and, if possible, that of the associated housing or bearing. MR Accesorios Industriales advises you to find the compatible alternative or special manufacturing if it is a non-standard size.
