The SKF FYC TF Y-bearing unit with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a bearing housing with a Y-series insert bearing. It is used to mount rotating shafts on fixed structures, with self-alignment and easy installation. It is a practical solution for power transmission in industrial, agricultural and transport equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line, with technical advice to choose the correct size.
The FYC TF designation reads as follows: FYC identifies the category of Y-bearing units with insert bearing, the letter Y indicates the type of insert bearing with set screws or eccentric locking, and TF indicates the sealing and constructional features of the insert. The numbers that appear in the examples —FYC 20 TF, FYC 25 TF, FYC 30 TF, FYC 35 TF, FYC 40 TF, FYC 45 TF, FYC 50 TF and FYC 55 TF— correspond to the shaft diameter in millimeters. Thus, an FYC 30 TF is mounted on a 30 mm shaft. This nomenclature allows you to quickly identify the size you need.
These bearing units are used in conveyors, elevators, mixers, fans, food industry machinery, agricultural equipment and transmission systems in manufacturing plants. In Argentina you will find them in packaging lines, mills, aggregate processing plants and maintenance workshops. Their design allows mounting the shaft and fastening the housing to the structure with bolts, which simplifies replacement and reduces downtime. They are a robust option for environments with dust, humidity or moderate vibration.
To select the correct bearing unit, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load —radial, axial or combined— and the environmental conditions. The TF seal protects against contaminants and retains the lubricant, making it suitable for applications with dirt or humidity. Verify the alignment between the housing and the shaft to avoid additional stresses. Periodic lubrication with compatible grease extends the service life of the insert. If the equipment operates at high temperatures or high speeds, consult the limitations of the insert.
As for equivalences, Y-bearing units with insert bearing are available from different brands under their own nomenclatures. The SKF FYC TF series can be interchanged with units of similar dimensions from other manufacturers, but it is essential to verify the mounting dimensions, the shaft diameter and the type of locking before replacing. Not all brands use the same sealing system or the same load capacity. Therefore, it is always advisable to compare the technical specifications and not rely only on the part number.
If you need to replace a Y-bearing unit with insert bearing, send us the full part number on WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With the example FYC 35 TF or the one shown on your equipment, we will send you the quote. We can also advise you if you have doubts about interchangeability with another brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does FYC TF mean in an SKF bearing unit?
- FYC identifies the category of Y-bearing units with insert bearing; TF indicates the type of sealing and features of the insert. The numbers that follow —for example 30— correspond to the shaft diameter in millimeters. This nomenclature helps you choose the correct size for your application.
- How do I know what size of bearing unit I need?
- Measure the shaft diameter where the bearing unit is mounted. That value in millimeters matches the number that appears in the part number, such as FYC 40 TF for a 40 mm shaft. If you have doubts, send us the measurement on WhatsApp and we will advise you.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, equivalent units from other manufacturers exist, but you must verify the mounting dimensions, the shaft diameter and the type of locking. Not all brands share the same sealing or load capacity. Ask us and we will help you compare.
