The SKF SYNT LW is a split plummer block housing assembly with an insert bearing, built for mounting on drive shafts. Its split construction allows bearing service without pulling the shaft or breaking down the line, which suits equipment where access is tight and a self-aligning unit is needed. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps customers match the right variant to the application.
Reading the code is straightforward. SYNT marks the series of split plummer block housings with insert bearing. The digits that follow give the shaft diameter the assembly fits, and the LW suffix identifies a sealing or lubrication variant inside the series. So SYNT 40 LW is a housing for a 40 mm shaft in that configuration. Once you know how the code is built, picking a replacement becomes a matter of matching numbers.
Typical installations include conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process equipment in food, cement, mining and aggregate processing. Dust and moisture are common in those settings, so sealing matters. Because the housing splits, a bearing can be changed without moving the shaft or dismantling the whole machine, which shortens downtime.
When selecting, confirm shaft diameter, load type and operating environment. The LW seal is generally chosen where contamination or humidity is a concern. At mounting, align the housings correctly and verify axial clearance. Follow the manufacturer's lubrication instructions and renew lubricant according to the duty cycle.
SKF SYNT LW housings can be interchanged with units from other makers that share the same standardized dimensions, though load capacities and seals differ. Compare the main dimensions and the mounting type before replacing. If anything is unclear, send the full code and shaft dimensions and our team will help.
