A lock ring from SKF holds the bearing in its axial position inside a split housing, so the shaft stays where it belongs. Conveyors, fans, pumps and similar equipment rely on this small accessory to keep the assembly steady. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America, and can help you pin down the exact code.
Reading the code is the fastest way to order the right ring. Take 35072-20 and 35072-40: both start with 35072, the housing identifier, and the ending tells you which mounting variant you get. The same logic applies to 36053-50 and 36053-159, where 36053 is the series and the suffix changes. Match those numbers against what is stamped on your housing or bearing before you order.
These rings turn up in food processing, cement, mining and general processing plants, wherever SKF split housings are in service. Belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers and milling equipment are typical examples. Holding the bearing axially limits movement, which in turn cuts wear and avoids failures caused by the bearing creeping out of position.
Selection comes down to the housing type and size, the bearing series and how the unit is mounted. Confirm that the ring suits both the shaft diameter and the housing before installing. Seat it properly, tighten the locking screws to the manufacturer's torque figures, and keep lubrication and alignment in check to get the most from the assembly.
Other brands may offer a similar ring, but dimensions and tolerances are not always the same. Check the technical specifications before you assume two parts can be swapped. Our team can review compatibility with the other lines we carry, though every application still needs its own confirmation.
Send the part number on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote it and help you confirm the correct ring for your equipment. If the number is not at hand, a photo or the housing measurements usually give us enough to work with.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the lock ring I need?
- Look for the complete code on the housing or bearing. Codes such as 35072-20 or 36053-50 point to the housing and the variant. Without a code, send a photo or the housing measurements and we will help you narrow it down.
- Can an SKF ring be used with another brand of housing?
- Sometimes the parts interchange, but dimensions and tolerances differ between manufacturers. Verify against the technical specifications first. We can review the options with you so mounting goes smoothly.
- What should I watch for during mounting?
- Check that the ring seats correctly in the housing and tighten the screws to the recommended torque. Confirm shaft alignment and lubricate as specified. Poor mounting leads to shifting and early failure.
