The Timken 500/600 series housing seal is the component that closes the split plummer block housing over the shaft and prevents dust, water or chips from entering the bearing raceway. It is used in SNT and FSNT split plummer block housings, where it acts as a static seal between the cover and the shaft. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line to plants and workshops throughout Argentina.

The designation of these seals is read with the prefix VR followed by a three-digit number that identifies the size of the housing they correspond to. Thus, VR211, VR212 and VR213 cover the small sizes of the series, while VR215, VR216, VR217, VR218 and VR220 reach the larger housings. The number is not a shaft diameter: it is the reference of the SNT or FSNT housing the seal was designed to work with. Therefore, when ordering it, it is best to provide the complete part number of the housing or of the seal.

These seals are found in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process equipment where the bearing is mounted in a split plummer block housing. In food and beverage plants they are chosen for their ease of cleaning; in cement, mining and aggregates, for their resistance to abrasion. They also appear in steel mills, paper mills and effluent treatment plants, always on shafts rotating at moderate speeds and with the presence of dust or moisture.

To select the correct seal, start from the housing: the number of the SNT or FSNT housing defines which VR reference corresponds to it. Mounting requires that the two halves of the housing be aligned and that the seal seat without deforming; poor shaft alignment shortens the life of the lip. Bearing lubrication and raceway condition also have an influence: if the seal runs dry or with excess grease, it loses effectiveness. In environments with pressurized water, a cover with greater protection should be evaluated.

Equivalent seals from other split plummer block housing brands circulate in the Argentine market, and interchangeability is resolved by housing number rather than by brand. A Timken VR211 can replace the seal of an SNT housing from another company if the series and size match. To avoid mistakes, send the complete housing part number or the shaft size and we will indicate the compatible alternative. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the Timken line with that logic of equivalences.

If you need to replace the seal of a split plummer block housing, send the VR part number or that of the SNT/FSNT housing on WhatsApp. We will quote it promptly and, if you are looking for a variant that does not appear in the list, write to us with the model you need: we will indicate the option that corresponds.
