The SKF FY series Y-bearing housing with insert is an assembled unit that combines a housing unit with a ball insert bearing. It is used to mount rotating shafts on fixed structures, allowing for some initial misalignment. It is common in transmission, conveying and process equipment where simplicity of mounting and low maintenance are sought.
The designation FY … M reads as follows: FY identifies the SKF Y-bearing housing category; the number that follows, as in FY 503 M or FY 508 M, indicates the size and housing type. The final letter M indicates that the housing is made of nodular cast iron, suitable for moderate loads and direct bolt mounting. Each part number combines a housing and a specific insert bearing, forming a unit ready to install.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, pumps and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food plants, cement plants, tanneries and metalworking factories. Their design allows the shaft to be mounted without additional machining and absorbs small misalignments, which simplifies maintenance on equipment with long shafts or chain and belt drives.
To select the housing, check the shaft diameter, the expected radial and axial load, and the environmental conditions. The insert bearing comes lubricated and sealed from the factory; if the environment has dust or moisture, choose the appropriate sealing. During mounting, make sure the base sits flat and the bolts are properly tightened. Initial alignment prevents stress and extends the service life of the assembly.
Y-bearing housings with insert are interchangeable between brands in terms of dimensions and capacities, as long as the shaft diameter and housing type match. When replacing, compare the complete designation and the main dimensions. If in doubt, the original part number is the best reference to find the correct equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the M mean in the part number FY 505 M?
- The M indicates that the housing is made of nodular cast iron, a material that combines strength and toughness. It is a standard SKF designation for this series and does not change the mounting dimensions.
- Can only the insert bearing be replaced?
- Yes, the insert bearing can be removed and replaced separately. Check that the new insert has the same shaft diameter and locking type. If the housing is in good condition, replacing it reduces the cost.
- Do they need additional lubrication?
- SKF insert bearings come lubricated for life in most cases. In severe environments or at high temperatures, consult the technical data sheet. No additional lubricant is necessary unless specifically indicated.
