Housing

material handling

SKF housings keep conveyors rolling longer with less maintenance
Benefits: • Increase mean time between failures • Increase productivity • Design more compact arrangements •Reduce need for maintenance • Facilitate lubrication • Upgrade to condition monitoring • Reduce unplanned downtime Typical applications: • Mining and port conveyors: – Head pulleys – Tail pulleys –Take-up pulleys – Bend pulleys Combine SKF bearings with SKF housings for optimum performance
SKF housings are designed to accommodate heavy loads and shaft misalignment and withstand shock loads. SKFhousing solutions for bulk conveyors help increase the performance of SKF bearings. Solutions include: • SNL and SAF housings accommodating European and North American measurements respectively • Awide selection of SKF heavy-duty taconite and PosiTrac Plus seals for traditional arrangements in abrasive conditions • SKF adapter and withdrawal sleeves for mounting with the oil injection methodStiff design for longer service life SNL and SAF housing bases are reinforced with ribs and extra material around the attachment holes to add strength and prevent deformation. In addition, robust SNL andSAF housings cast from ductile iron provide excellent resistance to shock loads. Compact and customizable arrangements When cast from robust ductile iron, SKF housings provide OEMs the ability todownsize conveyor designs with maintained performance. SNL and SAF housings are designed on a “building block” principle that enables a wide choice of bearings, seals, mounting and lubrication methods.And with a service life even longer than SKF bearings, SKF housings can be reused cost-effectively. Less maintenance, friction and energy consumption SKF housings have a number of built-in features thathelp end-users reduce maintenance time and cost. SNL and SAF housings have two pre-drilled holes in the cap for re-lubrication, plus cast dimples to show where condition monitoring sensors can be...
