SNS3164-H-D FAG SNS Split Plummer Block Housing

The FAG SNS -H Split Plummer Block Housings are heavy-duty bearing housings developed by Schaeffler to extend bearing life and simplify installation in demanding industrial environments. They represent the next generation after the previous SD31 design, offering identical mounting dimensions for easy interchangeability.

The FAG SNS-H Split Plummer Block Housing is a high-strength, modular housing system made from spheroidal graphite cast iron (ductile iron), providing exceptional durability and load capacity under harsh conditions. It is engineered to accommodate spherical roller bearings with either tapered or cylindrical bores, mounted directly on the shaft or via adapter sleeves.

A key feature of the SNS-H design is its optimised internal geometry that distributes loads evenly across the bearing seat, reducing stress and extending bearing service life by up to 50%. The housing incorporates an advanced lubrication system with a long axial groove, integrated grease outlets, and pilot holes for condition monitoring sensors, ensuring reliable operation and simplified maintenance.

Sealing options include labyrinth, bolt-on, and taconite seals, providing optimal protection against contamination in dusty, wet, or abrasive environments. Each housing half is clearly marked and precision-machined to ensure accurate alignment, while dismounting notches and machined locating faces improve service efficiency.

Features

• Modular design compatible with multiple bearing and shaft configurations
• Made from high-grade spheroidal graphite cast iron for superior strength
• Interchangeable with FAG SD31 plummer block housings (1:1 fit)
• Improved bearing lifespan through optimised load distribution
• Integrated lubrication and condition monitoring points
• Sealing flexibility: labyrinth, taconite, or bolt-on options
• Suitable for harsh environments such as mining, aggregates, or processing plants

Applications

Ideal for use in heavy industry, including mining, bulk materials handling, conveyors, fans, crushers, and processing machinery where reliability and ease of maintenance are critical.
