Split pillow blocks, SAF and SAW series (inch dimensions)

SAF and SAW split pillow (plummer) block housings are popular SKF bearing housings with inch dimensions, developed to be the first choice for design, quality and economy.

SAF and SAW housings enable the incorporated bearings to achieve maximum service life with less need for maintenance. Different housing variants and seal designs are available, making the use of tailored housings virtually unnecessary and enabling cost-effective bearing arrangements.
