Description

SKF P2BC 20M-TPSS is a y-bearing unit reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for P2BC 20M-TPSS via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The SKF Y-bearing housing with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron or stamped steel housing with an insert ball bearing, already lubricated and sealed. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where alignment is not perfect or where fast mounting is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with technical advice to choose the correct size.

The designation of these housings is read in parts. The initial letters P indicate a pillow block or flange type housing, depending on the variant. The number that follows, as in P2BC 20M-TPSS, indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters. The code BC corresponds to the insert bearing series with set screws or locking screws. The suffix M refers to the sealing type, and TPSS indicates a specific housing execution, generally with anti-corrosion treatment. The examples P2BC 25M-TPSS and P2BC 30M-TPSS show how only the shaft size changes.

These housings are found in belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, mills, screens and washing equipment. In Argentina they are common in the food, cement, mining and aggregate processing industries, where dust and humidity require protected housings. They also appear in road and agricultural machinery, on low and medium speed shafts with moderate loads. The advantage is that the insert bearing comes mounted and lubricated, which simplifies replacement in the plant.

To choose correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load and the environmental conditions. The M sealing and the TPSS treatment are key if there is water, dust or frequent washing. Verify that the insert is firmly fixed to the shaft, with the set screws properly tightened on the inner ring. Aligning the housing with the shaft avoids lateral stresses. Factory lubrication can be complemented with periodic greasing according to the duty cycle. If the equipment vibrates, check the tightening of the anchor bolts.

When replacing, always compare by dimensions and fixing type, not only by brand. A housing from another manufacturer may be interchangeable if the shaft diameter, the hole spacing and the center height match. Catalogue codes change between manufacturers, but standardized dimensions usually remain. If you have doubts, send us a photo of the old part or the complete code via WhatsApp and we will help you identify the equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the TPSS suffix mean on an SKF housing?
TPSS indicates a special housing execution, generally with an anti-corrosion coating or surface treatment for humid or dusty environments. It does not change the mounting dimensions, but it improves corrosion resistance.
How do I know what housing size I need?
Measure the shaft diameter where the insert bearing is mounted. That number, in millimeters, is the one that appears in the designation, for example 20, 25 or 30. Also verify the fixing hole spacing.
Can a housing from another brand be replaced by an SKF one?
Yes, if the shaft diameter, the center height and the hole spacing match. Codes change between manufacturers, but standardized dimensions allow interchangeability. Consult us with the original code.
