The SKF 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 built-in lubrication. It is a practical solution for light and medium drives, very common in continuously operating equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right variant.
The designation FYTBK corresponds to an oval flanged housing with insert bearing. The numbers after the underscore, as in FYTBK 20 WD/VL244, indicate the shaft diameter in millimeters, which varies by part number. The suffix WD indicates that the insert has a special seal for dusty or humid environments, and VL244 identifies the type of grease and the working temperature conditions. Knowing these suffixes is key to ordering the exact replacement.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and industrial washing equipment. In Argentina they are common in food plants, meat processing plants, tanneries and metalworking shops, where quick mounting and simple insert replacement make the difference. They also appear in agricultural machinery and in packaging lines that require frequent cleaning.
To select the housing, check the shaft diameter and the mounting type: oval flange, square flange or pillow block. The WD seal is suitable for dirty or washdown environments; the standard insert, for clean indoor areas. When mounting, make sure the flange sits flat and the bolts are properly tightened. Alignment is achieved through the radial clearance of the insert, but a misaligned shaft accelerates wear. Lubricate only if the insert allows it and follow the grease indicated by the suffix.
SKF housings of this series are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same flange standard and shaft diameter. If the insert has the same dimensions and the same mounting type, it can be replaced with one from another manufacturer. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you verify the equivalence with the original part number. It is always advisable to compare the shaft diameter, the hole spacing and the seal type before replacing.
If you have the part number of the housing or the insert bearing, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will send you the quote. We can also advise you if you need to change the seal or the mounting type. We work with leading brands to cover different applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the WD suffix mean in the FYTBK part number?
- The WD suffix indicates that the insert bearing has a special seal, designed for dusty, humid or frequently washed environments. It does not change the housing dimensions, but it improves the protection of the insert and extends its service life under demanding conditions.
- How do I choose between an oval flanged housing and a pillow block?
- The oval flange is bolted onto a flat surface and allows the shaft to be mounted perpendicular to that surface. The pillow block is used when the shaft runs parallel to the base. The choice depends on the available space and the direction of the load.
- Can I replace an SKF insert with one from another brand?
- Yes, if the shaft diameter, the flange dimensions and the mounting type match. International standards allow interchangeability between manufacturers. It is still advisable to verify the seal and the lubrication before making the change.
