The Timken TSNG seal is a housing sealing element that fits 500/600 series split plummer block housings and FSNT split plummer blocks. It keeps lubricant where it belongs and keeps dust, water and particles out, so the bearing inside the housing is protected. It is a common replacement item on rotating shaft equipment where grease loss or contamination would otherwise shorten bearing life.
Reading the reference is straightforward. TSN identifies the seal family for split plummer block housings, and the trailing G marks the sealing variant. The digits that follow point to the housing size the seal was built for, which is why TSNG216, TSNG217 and TSNG228 each fit a different block. Match that numeric suffix to the housing you already have in service and you have the right replacement.
These seals show up in food and beverage plants, cement operations, mining, steelmaking, paper mills and aggregate processing, as well as on conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers and mills. In all of them the housing works around dust, humidity or routine washdowns. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line for maintenance and replacement work.
Selection comes down to two things: the housing part number, such as SNT 216 or FSNT 216, and the contaminant the application actually sees. Installation matters just as much. Seat the seal so the lip is not damaged and contacts the shaft evenly, confirm housing alignment, and inspect the shaft surface first, since a scored or worn area will take the seal out early. Correct lubrication and cover adjustment complete the job.
On equivalences, TSNG seals can be exchanged with other brands offering seals for 500/600 series and FSNT split plummer block housings when dimensions and mounting style line up. Part numbers are not interchangeable across the board, so confirm housing size and shaft diameter. Send the original reference and we will point you to a compatible option.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the TSNG seal that matches my housing?
- The seal number follows the housing size, so an SNT 216 housing takes a TSNG216 seal. Check the code stamped on the housing, or measure the shaft diameter and housing width. If anything is unclear, send those figures by WhatsApp or email and we will identify the part number.
- How is a TSNG seal different from a blind cover?
- A TSNG seal carries a rubber lip that runs against the shaft to hold lubricant in and contaminants out. A blind cover is a metal plate that closes the housing without touching the shaft, typically on a non-drive end. The two serve different purposes and do not substitute for each other.
- Can TSNG seals handle wet environments?
- They provide a barrier against splashes and humidity. For pressure washdown or immersion, other sealing configurations are the better fit. Describe the application by WhatsApp or email and we will help you choose.
