For maintenance teams dealing with shafts that cannot be pulled, Timken HSM series split housings offer a practical answer. These two-half housings are designed to be opened, positioned around a split cylindrical roller bearing that is already on the shaft, and then bolted closed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies them to customers across the United States and Latin America for continuous-process equipment where every hour of downtime matters.

The HSM series covers a range of sizes identified by a number after the prefix: HSM280, HSM300, HSM320, HSM340, HSM360, HSM380, HSM400, and HSM420. That number is a housing size within the family, not a shaft diameter or a mounting dimension. To select the correct housing, you need to match it to the split bearing it will hold and confirm the shaft dimensions. Send the complete part number and we will quote the exact reference.

You will find these housings in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, high-flow pumps, and equipment used in mining, cement, paper, sugar, and aggregate processing. When a shaft is connected to gearboxes, pulleys, or couplings that are difficult to remove, a split housing lets you avoid moving the entire line. You take off the upper half, replace the bearing, and close it again. That is why they are often chosen for corrective maintenance and critical machinery.

Correct selection starts by verifying that the housing matches the split bearing you plan to install and the shaft diameter. Inspect the shaft surface: a worn or burred seat will shorten the life of the new bearing. During installation, clean the joint faces of both halves, apply bolt torque in a cross pattern, and check alignment with the shaft. Lubrication and sealing are also critical; without clean grease and intact seals, any housing will fail prematurely.

Split housings from different brands may look similar and serve the same purpose, but they are not interchangeable part by part. Tolerances, fastening methods, and seals vary. The Timken HSM series is built to match the geometry of that brand's split bearings. If you are replacing a housing of another origin, send us the old part number and shaft dimensions. We will indicate a compatible alternative or, if none exists, provide a quote for a custom solution.
