Timken SNTD series split plummer block housings are cast housings that open along the horizontal plane to mount the bearing without disassembling the shaft. They are used in transmission equipment where maintenance is performed on site, such as conveyor belts, mills, pumps and fans. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of industrial distribution experience.
The SNTD designation is read as a family of Timken split plummer block housings. The numbers that follow, as in SNTD 3052 or SNTD 3156, identify the size and series: the 3000 and 3100 series group different combinations of shaft diameter and load capacity. The suffixes that appear in the catalog indicate sealing, locking type or housing configuration variants. To choose the correct one, send us the complete part number shown on the equipment nameplate or on the original housing.
These housings are found in food, cement, mining, water treatment plants and in the metallurgical industry. In Argentina they are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, vibrating screens and large centrifugal pumps. Their split design allows the bearing or housing to be replaced without moving the shaft or uncoupling the motor, which is key in production lines that cannot stop for long. They are also used in low-speed equipment and moderate to high loads.
To select the housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type and size of bearing it will house, and the environmental conditions. Sealing is critical: in environments with dust, water or frequent washing, a configuration with seals that protect the bearing is recommended. Lubrication can be grease or oil depending on the design; check the level and frequency. During mounting, ensure that both halves seat without forcing and that alignment with the shaft is correct to avoid parasitic loads.
Timken SNTD housings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same mounting standard and dimensions. If the original part number is not available, it can be replaced by an equivalent housing from another manufacturer, as long as the shaft dimensions, center height and outer diameter match. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will indicate the compatible alternative or, if necessary, manufacture it to measure. The part number does not need to be identical: with the equipment data we find the solution.
