Plummer Blocks and Adapter Sleeves
SNL, SN, SD and SAF Split Housings

Tell us the shaft diameter and we will quote the housing, bearing and sleeve as a matched set, so nothing arrives missing. We stock SNL, SN, SD and SAF split housings for shafts from 20 mm to 500 mm with the H, AH and OH sleeves, locknuts and seals to go with them. A plummer block is two-piece: undo the cap and the bearing comes out without pulling the shaft, which on a long conveyor or a mill drive is the difference between an hour's work and a day's.

What Are Plummer Blocks & Sleeves?

Split Housings for Large-Bore, Heavy-Duty Shafts

A plummer block — also called a split pillow block or SNL housing — is a two-piece cast iron or steel housing that carries a spherical or cylindrical roller bearing. Unlike a standard one-piece pillow block, the split cap on a plummer block housing can be removed for inspection, relubrication, or bearing replacement without disturbing the shaft, making it the preferred choice for large, hard-to-remove shafts in heavy industrial equipment. Most plummer block bearings run on a tapered bore, so they are mounted using either an adapter sleeve for bearings positioned away from the shaft end, or a withdrawal sleeve for bearings near the shaft end that need to slide off during removal, with a locknut and lockwasher securing the sleeve in place.

As a trusted plummer blocks and sleeves supplier in India, Pragati Enterprises stocks SNL, SN, SD, and SAF series plummer block housings together with matching adapter sleeves, withdrawal sleeves, locknuts, lockwashers, and labyrinth seals from SKF, FAG, and NTN, covering bore sizes 20mm to 500mm. These are available as individual components or as complete pre-assembled units, ready to install.

Plummer Blocks & Sleeves We Supply

A complete range of split plummer block housings and mounting sleeves, stocked for immediate dispatch across India from our Mumbai warehouse.

SNL Series — Split Plummer Block Housings

Two-piece cast iron plummer block housing for spherical roller bearings mounted on adapter or withdrawal sleeves. This is the industry-standard heavy-duty plummer block used on large shafts across cement, steel, and mining plants. Bore sizes 20mm to 500mm.

  • Split cap for easy inspection and relubrication
  • Fits spherical roller bearings on tapered bore
  • Available with labyrinth or felt seals
  • SKF SNL and FAG SNV equivalents stocked

SN / SD / SAF Series — Standard, Heavy-Duty & Foot-Mounted Housings

The SN series covers lighter and mid-range shaft sizes, while the SD series is built for the heaviest loads found in steel mills and large gearboxes. The SAF series is a cast steel foot-mounted plummer block housing used where extra rigidity and shock resistance are required. All three follow the same split-cap principle as SNL housings.

  • SN for shaft sizes 20–100mm
  • SD for shaft sizes 200mm and above
  • SAF cast steel housings for heavy shock loads
  • Common in rolling mills and large fan drives

Adapter Sleeves

Tapered sleeves that mount a spherical roller bearing onto a plain cylindrical shaft, positioned away from the shaft end. The sleeve is tightened using a locknut, creating a secure interference fit on the shaft.

  • Converts a plain shaft to tapered-bore mounting
  • Used with a matching locknut and lockwasher
  • Standard metric sizes matching SNL plummer block housings
  • Simplifies bearing mounting and dismounting

Withdrawal Sleeves

Used when a bearing sits near the end of the shaft. The sleeve is drawn out from the shaft end during dismounting, which allows the bearing to be removed quickly without damaging the shaft seat.

  • Ideal for shaft-end bearing positions
  • Faster dismounting than adapter sleeves
  • Common on fan shafts and pump shafts
  • Available with a matching locknut set

Locknuts, Lockwashers & Labyrinth Seals

Precision locknuts and lockwashers secure sleeves and bearings on the shaft, while labyrinth and taconite seals protect the plummer block housing against dust, moisture, and contamination in harsh outdoor environments.

  • KM/KMT series locknuts and MB lockwashers
  • Labyrinth seals for dusty environments
  • Taconite seals for extreme contamination
  • Matched to SNL, SN, and SD series housings

Selection

Adapter Sleeve or Withdrawal Sleeve?

The most common ordering mistake on split housings, and how to avoid it.

Adapter sleeve (H series)

For a plain shaft with no shoulder. The tapered sleeve slides on, the bearing pushes up the taper, and a locknut draws it tight. Simple, and it lets you position the bearing anywhere along the shaft. This is what most conveyor and fan installations use.

Withdrawal sleeve (AH / OH)

For a stepped shaft where the bearing seats against a shoulder. The sleeve is driven in between shaft and bearing rather than under it. Easier to remove on large sizes, which matters when the bearing is 200 mm and the shaft is not coming out of the machine.

Getting the drive-up right

Tightening by feel is where most premature failures start. Too little and the inner ring creeps on the sleeve; too much and you close the internal clearance and the bearing runs hot. Work to the manufacturer's drive-up figure or reduction in clearance — ask us for it when you order.

SNL, SN or SAF?

SNL is the current SKF metric range and the one to specify for new work. SN is the older metric designation, still common on installed plant. SAF is the inch-series equivalent, usually found on imported American machinery. We stock all three, so an old housing can be matched.

FAQ

Plummer Block & Sleeve FAQs

What is a plummer block?
A plummer block, also called a split pillow block, is a housing that holds a bearing and bolts to a foundation to support a rotating shaft. Its split design lets you fit or replace the bearing without removing the whole shaft assembly.
What is the difference between a plummer block and a pillow block bearing?
The terms overlap, but there is a practical difference. A standard pillow block (UCP/UCF) is a one-piece cast housing with a self-aligning insert bearing, used for small to medium shafts. A plummer block (SNL/SN/SD) is a two-piece split housing designed for large-diameter shafts, allowing the top cap to be removed for inspection or bearing replacement without disturbing the shaft. Plummer blocks are the standard choice wherever shafts are too large or too heavy to dismount easily.
What is an adapter sleeve used for?
An adapter sleeve (H series) mounts a tapered-bore bearing onto a plain, unstepped shaft. It grips the shaft as the bearing is driven up, giving a secure, adjustable fit without machining a shaft shoulder.
How do I select the right plummer block housing?
Selection depends on the bearing type and size, shaft diameter, seal requirement, and whether the position is locating or non-locating. Share your bearing designation and shaft size with our team for a recommendation.
Do you supply SNL and SN series plummer block housings?
Yes — we stock SNL, SN, SD, and SAF/SDAF split plummer block housings with matching adapter sleeves, seals, and locating rings from SKF, FAG, and NTN.
Can you supply the housing, bearing, sleeve, and seals as a complete set?
Yes. We supply complete plummer block assemblies — housing, bearing, adapter sleeve, seals, and locating ring — matched to your shaft and ready to install.
What shaft sizes do plummer blocks and sleeves cover?
Our SNL, SN, SD, and SAF series plummer blocks, with matching adapter and withdrawal sleeves, cover shaft sizes from 20mm up to 500mm — serving everything from mid-size conveyor drives to large mill and crusher shafts.
Do I need an adapter sleeve or a withdrawal sleeve for my application?
Use an adapter sleeve when the bearing is positioned away from the shaft end on a plain shaft. Use a withdrawal sleeve when the bearing sits near the shaft end and needs to be removed by drawing the sleeve out. Share your shaft drawing and we will confirm the right choice.
What is the HSN code for plummer blocks?
Plummer block housings and split pillow block housings are generally classified under HSN code 8483, which covers bearing housings and plain shaft bearings. The exact code can vary slightly depending on whether you are billing the housing alone, the sleeve, or a complete pre-assembled unit — we confirm the correct HSN code on every GST invoice we issue.
Can you supply a complete pre-assembled plummer block unit?
Yes. We can supply the housing, spherical roller bearing, sleeve, locknut, lockwasher, and seals as a complete pre-assembled unit ready for installation, or as individual components based on your requirement.
