For shaft support where full disassembly is not practical, the SKF SNL split plummer block housing offers a practical solution. The housing is split horizontally into two or three sections, allowing it to be placed around a spherical roller bearing and removed without pulling the entire shaft. This design is especially useful on long or heavy shafts where complete removal is difficult or impossible.
The SNL code starts with a three-digit number that indicates the base size and the bearing it accommodates. Suffixes may follow to specify sealing options, housing material, or locating plate position. The same housing number can often accept different bearings, depending on the required shaft diameter.
Typical applications include belt conveyors, large industrial fans, mills, mixers, and any long horizontal shaft that needs an intermediate or end support. The housing is also suitable when the shaft may experience some misalignment from deflection or mounting tolerance.
Inside, the self-aligning bearing compensates for angular misalignment of the shaft without transferring extra load to the rollers. When ordering a replacement, confirm both the housing number and the bearing mounted inside, as this can vary between installations.
The SNL series, with its two- or three-piece system and standard base, has equivalents from other split plummer block housing manufacturers. However, sealing systems and construction details differ between brands. Always verify the complete housing number before ordering an equivalent, because the same base number may have variations in height or hole position.
To confirm which bearing fits your housing, send us the housing number—or the shaft diameter if you don't have it—via WhatsApp. MR Industrial Accessories quotes SNL SKF housings and equivalents.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is the SNL housing split into two or three pieces?
- This allows mounting and removal without taking out the entire shaft. On long or heavy shafts, dismantling the whole shaft to change a housing is often not feasible.
- Does the SNL housing include the bearing?
- No, the housing is the shell; the self-aligning bearing inside is ordered separately based on the exact shaft diameter. Provide the size and we will identify the corresponding bearing.
- Does MR manufacture split plummer block housings in addition to supplying SKF ones?
- Yes, we manufacture our own split plummer block housings in the SN, SNL, and SAF series. Contact us if you are looking for a locally manufactured alternative for your size.
