This split plummer block housing accommodates a shaft diameter of 160 mm and is designed to DIN 736 to 739. The SN 232 housing is intended for use with self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings, with the split design allowing mounting and dismounting without axial displacement of the shaft. Dimensional and constructional equivalents include SKF SE 232, SKF SNA 232, SKF SNH 232, SKF SNL 232, and Timken SNT 232. The housing is set up exclusively for grease lubrication, so no provision for oil lubrication should be assumed when specifying seals or relubrication intervals. Use of a self-aligning bearing insert in this housing accommodates shaft misalignment and mounting inaccuracies at the support point, while the split construction simplifies installation and inspection in place on the shaft line.
