SKF
End Covers (Roller Bearing Units)
End covers for roller bearing units seal the open end of the housing, protecting the bearing and shaft from contamination and providing personnel safety. SKF supplies end covers for its SNL, FNL, SAF, and SDAF housing series, in materials including plastic, aluminium, and steel. They are designed for rapid assembly with bolts or as snap-in parts. Covers help maintain internal housing cleanliness, which is critical for bearing service life, and prevent access to rotating parts, important for operator safety in plants with walkways close to equipment. In washdown or outdoor environments, gasketed covers stop water ingress that could cause corrosion and lubricant washout.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
Sealed Environment
Blocks dust, water, and process debris.
Personnel Protection
Covers exposed shaft ends as per machine safety directives.
Simple Retrofit
Fits existing SKF housings without modifications.
Corrosion Inhibitor
Prevents moisture-related housing bore and shaft corrosion.
Multiple Materials

Safety Compliance with Bearing End Covers
ISO 13857 and national machinery safety standards require exposed rotating shafts to be guarded. SKF end covers provide a machine-integrated guarding solution, simplifying safety compliance without external fabrications.
End Covers for Split Housings in Outdoor Installations
Wind turbine and conveyor outside installations face rain and snow. End covers with EPDM gaskets prevent water build-up in the housing, which would otherwise lead to bearing corrosion and premature grease failure.
