In addition to standard design SAF and SAW

variants are also available. Additional features
include:
• milled foot pads to provide a uniform flat
surface for fasteners
• special machining for lubrication and
condition monitoring systems

Housing material
For applications where extra strength is needed,
SAF housings are also available in cast steel,
designation SAFS. Check availability prior to
ordering. Cast steel housings come in three
different designs. The different designs share
the same dimensions as SAF housings made
of grey cast iron.
SAF housings are also available in ductile
iron (spheroidal graphite cast iron), designation
SAFD, from size 509 to 544 and from size 215
to 244. For additional information, contact the
