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.
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.
A complete range of split plummer block housings and mounting sleeves, stocked for immediate dispatch across India from our Mumbai warehouse.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Housings, sleeves and the loose parts that go with them — supplied assembled or as components.

Housing, bearing and sleeve are three separate parts. An SNL housing does not include the bearing or the sleeve unless you ask for a complete unit. Tell us the shaft diameter and the load, and we will quote the matched set so nothing arrives missing.
The most common ordering mistake on split housings, and how to avoid it.
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.
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.
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 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.
