SKF ETS covers close off split or solid bearing housings. They keep lubricant in and help block dust, water and particles from reaching the bearing, which supports longer service intervals and less maintenance. The covers mount on the housing on the shaft side, and you can pair them with oil seals or labyrinths depending on how much protection the application needs. MR supplies this line alongside its range of bearing housings and power transmission parts.
In the SKF naming system, ETS points to closure covers built for SKF bearing housings. The figure after the letters — ETS 34, ETS 36, ETS 40 or ETS 52, for instance — matches a housing size, not a shaft diameter or a bearing dimension. That means the housing part number is your starting point, whether the unit is already running or still on order. Send it over and we can check it against the ETS series.
You will find these covers on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans and agricultural machinery, wherever bearings face dust, humidity or splashes. In food and beverage plants they add a barrier against lubricant contamination. In aggregate and cement operations, where abrasion runs high, picking the right cover affects how often you replace components. Marine and port equipment, often pressure-washed, is another common setting.
Selection goes beyond housing size. Decide first what sealing you need: a blind cover is not the same as one with a lip seal or a labyrinth. Shaft peripheral speed, working temperature and whether the lubricant is grease or oil all shape the choice. At assembly, check that the cover seats without forcing, tighten the screws evenly and make sure the gasket or oil seal is not pinched. Misaligned housings wear seals faster.
SKF ETS covers can be swapped with equivalent accessories from other makers, but the fit is not automatic. Compare outer diameter, mounting hole pattern, overall height and sealing type before committing. Numbers that look alike across brands often do not match. Validating compatibility against the existing housing first saves a return trip. Our team can run that technical check with you.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the right ETS cover for my housing?
- Start with the part number of the SKF housing you have. That defines the compatible cover. If the number is not available, send us the housing dimensions or a photo and we will help identify it.
- Can ETS covers fit housings from other brands?
- Sometimes, if the mounting dimensions and sealing type line up. There is no universal cross-reference, so verify outer diameter, holes and height before replacing.
- What separates a blind cover from one with an oil seal?
- A blind cover closes the housing with no shaft passage. A cover with an oil seal lets the shaft through and seals against it, holding lubricant in and contaminants out. The mounting type decides which you need.
