The SKF SAF split plummer block housing is a two-piece bearing support that lets you mount or remove the bearing without pulling the shaft. It fits equipment where the shaft is long or hard to reach and maintenance windows are short. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line for industrial plants across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you order the right part. SAF marks the split plummer block housing series. The number that follows, such as 217, is the housing size, tied to shaft diameter and load capacity. The H-38 suffix identifies the adapter sleeve used to secure the bearing on the shaft. So SAF 217 H-38 pairs a size 217 housing with an H-38 adapter sleeve.
These housings show up in food processing, cement, mining, paper and aggregate operations. Typical equipment includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and industrial fans. In dusty or humid areas, the split design keeps fastening solid and maintenance straightforward.
Selection starts with shaft diameter, bearing type (deep groove ball, cylindrical roller or spherical roller), and the load and speed conditions. During mounting, check alignment between the two halves, lubricate the contact surfaces and tighten the fixing screws to the specified torque. The housing seal keeps contaminants out and lubricant in.
SAF split plummer block housings can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. Before swapping one housing for another, confirm the complete designation and critical dimensions. If you need help, our technical team can point you to the right equivalent.
