SKF PL end covers close off the ends of split bearing housings. They keep lubricant in and keep dust, water, and particles out. The design allows straightforward mounting and a reliable fit on the housing. We supply them as part of our housing accessories line and can help you match the cover to your housing and operating conditions.
The PL code uses a number after the letters to indicate size or construction variant. A PL cover with one number is not interchangeable with a cover carrying a different number, because each code matches a specific diameter or housing type. To select correctly, cross-reference the cover code with the housing code. If you are unsure, send both codes and we will check them.
These covers suit equipment with split housings, such as pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, mills, and continuous process machines. In food plants, paper mills, cement plants, and metallurgical facilities, closing the housing properly helps prevent lubricant loss and contaminant entry. They are also replaced during preventive maintenance when the original cover is deformed, missing, or no longer seals correctly.
Selection depends on the housing condition and the sealing the equipment requires. Abrasive dust calls for different attention than pressurized water or steam. The cover should seat without forcing and must allow regreasing if the housing has a duct. During mounting, clean the surface, check for burrs, and fit the cover in the correct orientation. A cover that is not seated properly will not seal, even if it is the exact size.
SKF PL end covers can replace covers from other split housing manufacturers, but interchangeability is not automatic. Diameter, height, and fastening system must be compared. The cover code often changes from one manufacturer to another even when the housing is equivalent. Before swapping brands, validate the critical dimensions. We can assist with that comparison when you send the original housing data.
To get PL end covers for an SKF housing, send the complete code on WhatsApp. We verify the variant and prepare your quote. We also guide you if the code is incomplete or if the housing carries an old designation.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the right PL cover for my housing?
- You need both the housing code and the cover code. The number in the PL cover relates to the housing size. If you lack the code, measure the housing outer diameter and height, and send those dimensions so we can guide you.
- Can SKF PL end covers fit housings from other brands?
- They can work if diameter, height, and fastening match, but there is no universal equivalence. Each manufacturer uses its own nomenclature. Compare the actual dimensions of the housing and cover before replacing.
- What material are PL end covers made of?
- Send us the exact cover code and we will check the manufacturer's technical data sheet to give you a precise answer.
