Steel SN-type blocks

Bowman Arvis steel SN-type plummer block housing (SSNT range)

Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

Arvis® Steel SN-Type Plummer Blocks are engineered to withstand the toughest industrial environments, delivering exceptional strength, durability, and long-term reliability. Designed as heavy-duty steel SN-type plummer blocks, these housings provide dependable support for both self-aligning ball bearing block and split plummer block spherical roller bearing arrangements mounted directly onto cylindrical shafts or adapter sleeve plummer block assemblies.

The SSNT steel bearing housing range has been developed as a robust SN block replacement steel solution for applications where conventional cast housings are susceptible to impact damage, vibration, and heavy loading. Manufactured from high-quality steel, these housings offer increased structural integrity while maintaining the ease of installation and maintenance associated with split plummer block designs. Their split construction enables faster bearing inspection, servicing, and replacement, helping to minimise downtime and improve operational efficiency.

Designed for demanding industrial applications, Arvis Steel SN-Type Plummer Blocks provide excellent performance in environments exposed to continuous loads, contamination, shock, and vibration. Their precision-engineered design ensures reliable bearing alignment, consistent load distribution, and long service life, making them suitable for both new equipment and replacement installations.

Widely used as a steelmaking bearing housing, these units are also ideal for SN block quarrying mining applications, as well as cement production, material handling, recycling, aggregates, power generation, and heavy manufacturing. Compatible with a broad range of self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings, the Arvis range delivers a durable, cost-effective solution for challenging operating conditions. Whether replacing existing SN housings or specifying components for new machinery, Arvis Steel SN-Type Plummer Blocks provide the strength, reliability, and performance required for the most demanding industrial environments.
