Timken Split Housed Units – Flexible Mounting, Easy Maintenance
Timken Split Housed Units combine a precision-machined split bearing housing with a compatible Timken bearing in a ready-to-install assembly. Like theSplit Plummer Block, the split housing allows the upper half to be removed without disturbing the shaft – enabling in-position bearing replacement during planned maintenance. What distinguishes Split Housed Units is their flange and base configuration, available in pillow block (foot-mounted), flange, and take-up frame variants, suiting different mounting geometries and load directions.
Split Housed Units acceptTimken Spherical Roller BearingsandAPTM bearing assemblies. For applications where shaft removal is practical, ourSolid Block Housed Unitprovides a more economical one-piece alternative.
Where Split Housed Units Are Used Across South Indian Plants
Conveyor take-up stations are a primary application: the take-up frame configuration provides both shaft support and belt tension adjustment. In South India’s mining, port, and bulk handling industries, split housed units in the take-up position allow bearing replacement without releasing belt tension – a significant time and safety advantage.
Paper machine rolls, agitator drives in chemical and pharmaceutical plants, and cooling water pump drive shafts in power stations all benefit from the split housing design. The ability to replace the bearing in position while the shaft remains supported by the opposite bearing is a key operational advantage wherever shaft removal is time-consuming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a Split Housed Unit and a Split Plummer Block?
A: Both feature a two-piece split housing for easy bearing access. Split Plummer Blocks have a symmetrical foot-mounted base; Split Housed Units are available in foot, flange, and take-up frame variants for different mounting geometries.
Q: Can Split Housed Units be used with Timken APTM bearing assemblies?
A: Yes. Timken Split Housed Units are compatible with APTM bearing assemblies, providing pre-mounted, pre-set bearing benefits within a housing that allows in-position bearing access.
Q: How do I select the correct Split Housed Unit for my shaft diameter?
A: Primary selection parameters are shaft diameter, load (radial and axial), operating speed, and mounting configuration. Contact CNS Bearings with these details for a product recommendation.
