housings with a tapered bore

Appropriate SKF bearing housings are avail- Bearings with a tapered bore are mounted
able in a variety of designs and sizes for a with an interference it, by using one of the
wide range of applications The designs following methods:
include:
1 Feeling the clearance reduction by
• SNL, SE plummer (pillow) block housings turning and swivelling the outer ring
in the 2, 3, 5 and 6 series (ig. 14)
• FNL langed housings – This method is valid for bearings with
• SAF plummer (pillow) block housings for Normal radial clearance (not for sealed
inch shafts bearings)
– The clearance reduction in the bearing 4
