For split housings, the SKF A series lock ring is the accessory that holds the bearing in its axial position and stops it from moving. It suits shafts that need to stay put, as in conveyors, mills and pumps. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and can guide you to the size that matches your housing. Share the complete code with us and we will prepare a quote.
A lock ring code starts with the letter A followed by four digits, for example A 8819 or A 8897. The letter points to the family of housing locking accessories, while the digits define the size and shape. This is not a bearing and not a complete housing. It is the piece that sits in the housing groove to lock the outer ring and keep the axial position. When you ask for a quote, send the exact code from the drawing or from the old part.
You will find these rings in split housings on machines with horizontal shafts: conveyor belts, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and transmission equipment in food, cement, mining and aggregate plants. They are common where vibration or moderate axial loads are present and the bearing must not shift inside the housing. They are also replaced during preventive maintenance on production lines.
Selection depends on the housing model and the bearing it holds. The ring must enter the groove without force and mount without hammering. Keep the contact surface clean and free of burrs; a poor fit can lead to axial play or early wear. Bearing lubrication and shaft alignment are separate from this accessory, but they affect how it performs. If you are unsure, ask our technical team.
Other housing and accessory makers may offer parts with a similar role, yet dimensions and tolerances do not always line up. Interchangeability requires that the diameter, width and groove shape match. Do not swap one ring for another without checking the original housing data sheet. If the code is missing, we can help identify it from a photo or a sample.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a lock ring and a retaining ring?
- A lock ring goes into a split housing to fix the bearing axially inside it. A retaining ring is fitted on a shaft or in a housing to limit the movement of other parts. Their roles differ and they cannot be used in place of each other.
- How do I identify the ring my housing needs?
- Check for the code stamped on the part or in the housing documentation. If you do not have it, send us the housing and bearing model, or a photo of the groove. With that information we can determine the matching SKF A series reference.
- Does MR carry SKF rings as a brand?
- Yes, MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF products as part of its line of housings and accessories. To request a quote, send the code by WhatsApp and we will reply with the quote and terms.
