The main benefit of split plummer block housings is their easy installation; pre-assembled shafts can be mounted in them. SNL Plummer blocks are primarily intended for self-aligning ball bearings, spherical roller bearings and CARB bearings.
Stiff Design - Insensitive to uncontrolled tightening of the attachment bolts and low operating temperatures Excellent Heat Conduction - The extra ribs in the housing base provide additional surface area between the base and the base plate to improve heat flow away from the bearing, affording low bearing temperatures, high speed operation possible with oil lubrication, long relubrication intervals, long service life, low lubricant consumption Additional Seals - Various sealing options are available for the plummer block housing
