The SKF FY DUTF Y-bearing housing with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing unit with a Y-bearing insert. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where simple alignment and quick mounting are required. It is a common solution in low and medium-demand transmissions, with built-in lubrication and sealing designed for environments with moderate dust or humidity.

The designation FY ... DUTF is read in parts: FY identifies the SKF Y-bearing housing category, the number that follows —as in FY 2.7/16 DUTF— indicates the shaft size in inches, and the suffix DUTF indicates sealing and locking variants specific to this design. In practice, the complete part number tells you what shaft diameter it accepts and what type of seal it has. To choose correctly, provide the part number exactly as it appears on the plate or on the old bearing.

These housings appear in belt conveyors, mixers, grain elevators, fans and packaging lines. In Argentina they are seen in food plants, feed lots, flour mills and aggregate processing plants, where dust and water cleaning demand reliable sealing. They are also used in irrigation equipment and agricultural machinery, because mounting on the shaft is quick and does not require a press or special tools.

To select the housing, verify the shaft diameter, the locking type —set screw, eccentric or adapter— and the sealing required according to the environment. Mounting is done by sliding the insert onto the shaft and tightening the locking screws with the corresponding wrench; it is advisable to align the housing with the shaft before tightening. Lubrication comes from the factory, but in service it is advisable to check the condition of the sealing and replenish grease if the equipment works under severe conditions.

Regarding interchangeability, Y-bearing housings with insert bearings from different brands usually share standardized dimensions, but sealing and locking suffixes change between manufacturers. It is not advisable to mix an insert from one brand with a housing from another without verifying dimensions and tolerances. If you need to replace an assembly, the safest approach is to compare the complete part number and the main dimensions of the housing.

If you have the part number of the housing or the insert bearing, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote the available option. We can also help you identify the size if the part number is erased or if you only have the shaft diameter.
