TFL end covers close off the ends of split bearing housings. Their job is to hold grease in place, keep dust, water and debris out, and shield the bearing in tough operating conditions. On pumps, fans, conveyors and process lines, picking the right cover helps the assembly run longer between maintenance stops. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF cover line and assists with size identification.

The TFL prefix marks a cover family made for split housings. What comes after it, such as TFL 508, TFL 509 or TFL 510, points to a specific size and housing type. These codes are not interchangeable between manufacturers, so the housing itself is where selection starts. If the equipment carries an SKF housing, the fastest route is to send the complete housing number together with the cover reference found on the drawing or nameplate.

Typical installations include conveyors, mixers, centrifugal pumps, fans, mills and general process machinery. Plants handling food, cement, paper, leather and minerals often rely on them, since dust and moisture are hard on bearings. The same applies outdoors or where washdowns are routine. The cover does more than plug an opening: it sets the sealing arrangement and influences how often relubrication is needed.

Selection begins with the housing model and size. Next comes the closure style, because a blind cover, a labyrinth version and one with a radial shaft seal do not offer the same protection against dust and water. Check the axial clearance available and how the housing is lubricated; where a grease fitting is present, the cover has to leave room for access. At mounting, wipe the seating faces clean, seat the cover without forcing it and confirm shaft alignment. A cover that sits badly can leak or cause overheating.

Equivalents are matched by housing size and type rather than by brand. With an SKF housing, the matching TFL cover keeps the original mounting dimensions. For housings from other manufacturers, compare outer diameter, hole pattern and height. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF and can help when the housing has no readable identification.

To get a quote, send the cover part number, for example TFL 508 or TFL 515, or the housing model, by WhatsApp or email. If neither is available, a photo plus the main dimensions usually allows identification. We also handle other housing lines and can point you to the option that fits your equipment. Technical inquiries from across the United States and Latin America are welcome.
