The SKF SNL split plummer block housing is built in two halves, so it can hold bearings with either tapered or cylindrical bore and be opened for mounting or removal without pulling the shaft or disturbing the drive. Maintenance teams use it where a bearing change has to be quick and dependable. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial plants across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
Reading the code helps you order the right unit. Take SNLD 512-610/MS1: SNLD is the split plummer block housing series with a lip seal and a groove for a thermometer; the first figure gives the housing base size, and the number after the hyphen gives the shaft size it fits. The /MS1 suffix identifies the seal type supplied. Other examples include SNLD 513-611/MS1 and SNLD 518-615/MS1. Confirm the full part number before sending your request.
These housings appear on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process equipment in food, cement, mining and aggregate plants, as well as in oilseed and milling operations and material handling systems where access is tight. Because the housing splits, the bearing can be replaced without moving the shaft or uncoupling the transmission, which shortens downtime.
When selecting, check the shaft diameter, whether the bearing has a tapered or cylindrical bore, the radial and axial loads expected, and the operating environment. The MS1 seal handles dust and moisture; if liquids are present, look at additional sealing options. During mounting, confirm that the halves align and that the screws are tightened evenly. Use lubricant suited to the housed bearing and set internal clearance according to the bearing type.
SKF SNL housings can interchange with other brands of split housings made to standardized dimensions when shaft diameter, center height and mounting hole spacing match. Our team can review compatibility with the equipment you already run.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the /MS1 suffix mean on an SNL housing?
- The /MS1 suffix identifies the seal type fitted to the housing. In the SNLD series it denotes a lip seal with a groove for a thermometer, intended for environments with moderate dust or moisture.
- Can I mount a tapered roller bearing in an SNLD housing?
- Yes. SNLD housings accept bearings with tapered or cylindrical bore, depending on the model. Check that the bearing matches the shaft diameter and the housing type before assembly.
- How do I know if an SNL housing from another brand is compatible?
- Compare shaft diameter, center height and distance between mounting holes. If these match the original housing, interchange is likely. If unsure, send us the part number and measurements and we will help you confirm.
