SKF SAF 515 Pillow Block Bearing Housing

The SAF 515 (Q6) Pillow Block Bearing Housing is a two-piece split, cast-iron base-mounted housing in the SKF SAF Series designed to support and protect mounted spherical roller bearings in heavy-duty rotating shaft systems. It is used in mining, aggregate processing, cement facilities, paper mills, steel manufacturing equipment, conveyors, and bulk material handling where high radial loads, shaft misalignment, and contaminated operating conditions are common. It supports horizontal shafts with heavy radial and moderate axial loads, offers grease or oil lubrication, and uses seals such as labyrinth, felt, or taconite depending on configuration, while conforming to ISO plummer block dimensional standards. Common replacements include SKF SAF 515 Bearing Housing, Dodge SAF-XT 515 Pillow Block Housing, and FAG SNV515 Plummer Block Housing.
