Standard Split Plummer Block Housings

SN Series

SMR SN Series plummer block housings are standard split housings for self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings, designed for general engineering applications.

Standard Split Plummer Block Housings - SN Series

Proven Split-Housing Design for General Engineering

SMR SN Series plummer block housings provide a practical and economical housing solution for general engineering requirements.

The horizontally split construction allows convenient access for bearing installation, inspection, maintenance and replacement.

SN housings accommodate both cylindrical-bore and tapered-bore bearing arrangements. Cylindrical-bore bearings are mounted directly on the shaft, while tapered-bore bearings are mounted using suitable adapter sleeves.

The SN Series also provides flexibility in bearing mounting and axial-location arrangements to suit different installation requirements.

Shaft diameters 20 – 200 mm
Self-aligning ball bearings & spherical roller bearings
Grease lubrication
High-grade Grey Cast Iron
S.G. Iron or Cast Steel on request
Eye bolts for handling (224 / 320 / 524 / 620)

Key Features

Split Housing Construction

Horizontally split design for convenient bearing installation, inspection and maintenance.

Bearing Compatibility

Suitable for self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings with cylindrical or tapered bores.

Flexible Mounting

Direct mounting for cylindrical-bore bearings and adapter-sleeve mounting for tapered-bore bearings.

Felt Sealing

Standard felt seals provide grease retention and protection against normal levels of dust and external contaminants.

Axial Bearing Location

Locating rings can be fitted where the bearing is required to be axially located within the housing.

Relubrication

Grease nipples are provided for convenient bearing relubrication.

Easy Handling

Eye bolts are provided on larger housing sizes for easier handling during installation and maintenance.

Sealing & Lubrication

Felt Seals

Standard felt seals provide effective grease retention and protection against normal levels of dust and external contaminants.

Labyrinth Seals

Labyrinth seals can be supplied where enhanced protection against dust and external contamination is required.

Grease Lubrication & Relubrication

SN Series housings are designed for grease lubrication. Grease nipples are provided for convenient bearing relubrication.

For particularly demanding environments, SMR recommends its advanced housing ranges specifically developed for challenging operating conditions.

Locating Rings

For a fixed bearing arrangement, one or two locating rings can be fitted to provide axial location of the bearing, depending on the housing and bearing arrangement.

Operating Conditions

SMR SN Series plummer block housings are intended primarily for general engineering applications where bearings operate under moderate loads and speeds and within relatively clean and temperate environments.

For more demanding operating conditions, SMR offers advanced housing ranges with additional sealing, configuration and performance options suited to specific application requirements.
