When your shaft diameter and load exceed what a standard SNL unit can handle, the SKF SAF split plummer block housing is the next step up. It is a cast iron housing, split at the cap, so you can install or replace it without pulling the whole shaft. Its base and cap are dimensioned with more margin than an SNL, which suits larger shafts and heavier duty.

The SAF code starts with a three-digit number that indicates the size. Some versions carry additional letters or digits for the sealing arrangement or the position of the grease nipple. The housing works together with a spherical roller bearing, and that bearing is selected from the exact shaft diameter, not from the housing number alone.

You will find these housings in heavy conveyors, mills, crushers, large industrial fans and mining equipment. They are also common where large diameter shafts run continuously, around the clock. In those installations, the fit of the cap and the condition of the seals matter as much as the size: a poor seal lets dust or water into a housing that often sits outdoors, on mineral or agro-industrial belts.

The SAF series has equivalents from other makers of cast iron split plummer block housings. Before you order an equivalent, confirm the complete housing number and the shaft diameter. If you only have one of the two, our team can help you cross it.

Send the housing number or the shaft diameter by WhatsApp or email. We will confirm the matching bearing and suggest an equivalent if needed. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SKF SAF housings by manufacturer code and serves customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
