FAQ

What type of bearings can be installed in the SNL 3160 housing?

The SNL 3160 housing is designed to accommodate several bearing types on an adapter sleeve, including self-aligning ball bearings (131 series), spherical roller bearings (231 series), and CARB toroidal roller bearings (C 31 series).
