The FYC housing is an assembly made up of a cast iron housing and an insert bearing with a spherical outer ring, which allows small misalignments to be compensated. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where simple, robust mounting is required. SKF is a brand that MR carries, with alternatives for different shaft sizes. If you need to replace an existing housing, send us the part number and we will quote it.

The FYC designation is read as a category of wall-mounted housings with insert bearing. The number that follows, as in FYC 504 or FYC 508, identifies the bearing size and the shaft diameter for which it is made. Do not confuse the housing part number with the insert bearing part number: the assembly comes assembled and balanced from the factory. When ordering, indicate the complete part number to receive the correct part.

They are used in conveyors, mixers, fans, mills and process equipment in the food, chemical and materials industries. In Argentina they are common in grain plants, meatpacking plants and plastics factories, where the environment can be humid or dusty. Their cast iron housing withstands moderate loads and the spherical insert absorbs misalignments from mounting or shaft deflection.

To choose correctly, check the shaft diameter and the insert locking type (set screw, eccentric or adapter sleeve). The insert sealing defines whether it is suitable for a wet or dusty environment: there are versions with a single lip seal and others with a double lip. During mounting, rest the housing on a flat surface and align the shafts before tightening the screws. Lubricate according to the insert type and check the axial clearance.

SKF FYC housings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. In general, a wall-mounted housing with a spherical insert of similar diameter and locking type is replaceable, but always verify the housing dimensions and the center height. MR Accesorios Industriales carries SKF and other brands, and can advise you on the appropriate equivalent.

If you have the housing or insert bearing part number, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that information we will quote the part. We can also advise you if you need to change the locking system or improve the sealing for a demanding environment.
