SKF FSNL split plummer block housings are supplied as two pieces: a base that mounts to your structure and a cap that bolts on top to hold the shaft bearing. The range covers sizes such as FSNL 218, FSNL 515-612 and FSNL 532, and each one has its own set of dimensions. For that reason, the complete part number is what identifies the housing you need.

Because the housing separates into a base and a cap, you can lift the cap and reach the bearing and the sealing components without pulling the shaft or disturbing what is mounted at either end. That is the main reason these housings are used on long shafts and on drives where pulleys or couplings are already in place and should stay where they are. Maintenance work that would otherwise require a partial teardown can be done in place.

Reading the designation helps you avoid mix-ups. Some references use one number, as in FSNL 218; others use two numbers with a hyphen, as in FSNL 515-612. These figures describe the housing size, not the shaft diameter, so you cannot work back to the shaft from them. Support and mounting dimensions differ from one reference to the next and must be checked against your structure. If you do not have those figures, send the part number and we will look them up.

A housing on its own does not make an assembly. The bearing, how it is fixed on the shaft, the sealing arrangement and the lubricant all follow from the application. When you place an order, it helps to say which bearing will sit in the housing and how it will operate. Speed, temperature and the surrounding conditions, such as dust or moisture, determine the sealing method and the lubrication choice.

During installation, the base needs a flat, level and rigid surface, lined up with any other housings on the same shaft. Base and cap are machined as a matched set, so caps and bases from different housings should not be swapped. Bring the joining and fixing bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque values, then confirm the shaft turns freely by hand.

To get a quote, contact us on WhatsApp or by email with the full housing part number, for example FSNL 515-612, and mention the bearing you plan to mount. We answer promptly and can suggest equivalents or help you complete the assembly.
