The SKF FYTB FM Y-bearing unit with insert bearing is a ready-to-mount assembly that combines a cast iron housing unit with an insert bearing. It is used to support rotating shafts in applications requiring self-alignment and easy mounting. The FYTB FM series features a two-bolt design for mounting on flat surfaces, with a locking system using set screws on the inner ring. It is a practical solution for power transmission in industrial machinery.
The designation FYTB …. FM is read as follows: FYTB indicates the type of Y-bearing unit with two mounting holes and insert bearing; the number that follows (for example, 1., 1.3/16, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35) corresponds to the nominal shaft diameter, either in inches (with fractions) or in millimeters. The suffix FM indicates a specific design variant, normally associated with the sealing type and the insert locking system. Examples such as FYTB 1. FM or FYTB 25 FM show this dual nomenclature, in inches and metric, to suit different shafts.
These bearing units are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina: from conveyor lines in food plants to process equipment in the chemical industry, as well as agricultural machinery, industrial fans and material conveyors. Their two-bolt design allows them to be mounted on steel structures or concrete beds, facilitating initial alignment. They are common in applications where the shaft must be supported and protected against dust and moderate humidity.
To correctly select an FYTB FM bearing unit, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The insert seal is key: FM suffixes usually include seals that retain lubrication and block contaminants. During mounting, make sure the support surface is clean and flat, and that the locking screws are tightened to the recommended torque. Proper lubrication and careful alignment extend the service life of the assembly.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, Y-bearing units with insert bearings from different brands may differ in critical dimensions such as center height, hole spacing and shaft diameter. Therefore, when replacing a bearing unit, it is essential to verify that the dimensions match those of the original. The SKF FYTB FM series is a reliable reference, but it is always advisable to compare the dimensions before replacing. Do not invent part numbers: if you have any doubts, ask us with the exact part number.
