SNL split pillow block housings

The SNL split pillow block housing is a cast iron housing made in two halves that supports a bearing on a rotating shaft. Because it splits, you can install or remove the bearing without dismantling the shaft or the drive. The right size depends on the shaft diameter, the bearing type and size, the mounting position, and the load and environmental conditions.

In SKF part numbers such as SNL 205, SNL 207 or SNL 210, SNL is the series and the number is the housing size, not the shaft diameter. When a part number has two numbers, like SNL 206-305 or SNL 208-307, each one is a bearing size; both bearings share an outside diameter and fit the same housing. The exact part is defined by the complete part number, suffixes included.

You will find these housings in power transmission equipment, conveyors, process machinery, fans, pumps and hoisting systems. The split design lets your crew inspect or change the bearing in the field and cuts downtime. Add end covers, seals and retaining rings to keep dust and moisture out and lubricant in, matched to the conditions around the equipment.
