SKF SAFD517 Bearing

SKF SAFD517 is a two-piece split pillow block housing from the SAFD series designed to accept self-aligning ball or spherical roller bearings with a 2-15/16 in bore, delivering a rugged, modular mounting for heavy‑duty rotating equipment. The cast‑iron housing measures 13 in long, 5 in wide, and 7-5/16 in high, with a base-to-bore centerline of 3-3/4 in and an 11 in bolt‑center‑to‑center length, optimized for a 2-15/16 in bore. It accommodates spherical roller bearings including series 232 and is compatible with self‑aligning bearings to promote proper alignment and load distribution in demanding service conditions. Common applications include fans, conveyors, mills, crushers, and pulleys, where SKF SAF housings are chosen to maximize service life and simplify maintenance.
