Split plummer block housings SE 2, 3, 5 and 6 series

Grease guiding system Fig. 7
For efficient relubrication from the side, Grease guiding system
SE housings from size 511 to 515 have an
integrated flange that guides grease from
the grease fitting directly to the bearing
(† fig. 7). This can reduce grease consump-
tion and disposal costs.
Grease level markings
To avoid over-filling, markings at each corner
inside the housing base indicate the proper
grease level for an initial 20 or 40% fill of the
free space between housing and bearing
(† fig. 8).

Better lubrication facilities
The hole in the housing cap for relubrication
through the centre of the bearing is positioned
off-centre relative to the shaft axis († fig. 9). Fig. 8
