The SKF Y-bearing of the RLYE A series is an insert with an extended inner ring and a set screw locking system, designed to be mounted in split or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where the shaft rotates at moderate speeds and loads are mainly radial, such as conveyor belts, fans and mixers. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line and helps you choose the correct part number for your application.
The RLYE A series designation reads as follows: the letters RLYE identify a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and set screw locking; the final letter A indicates a construction variant within the family. The three-digit number in the middle encodes the bore diameter and the main dimensions. To order the replacement, provide the full part number exactly as it appears on the nameplate or on the equipment drawing.
These inserts are mounted in split, pillow block or flanged housings, and are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and industrial fans. In Argentina they are found in food plants, cement plants, tanneries and aggregate processing plants, where maintenance is done with the equipment stopped and quick interchangeability is a priority. They are also used on low-speed transmission shafts that require a simple and robust support.
To select the right Y-bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. If there is dust or moisture, effective sealing is advisable; if the shaft is prone to deflection, check the internal clearance. During mounting, clean the shaft seat, apply the recommended torque to the set screws and lubricate according to the operating regime. Careful alignment of the housing prevents parasitic stresses and extends service life.
Regarding equivalences, Y-bearings are interchangeable between manufacturers if dimensions, locking system and sealing match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: you must compare the bore diameter, the overall width, the type of locking and the location of the lubrication holes. If you have doubts, send us a photo of the part and the shaft measurements, and we will confirm the corresponding reference at MR Accesorios Industriales.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the correct part number for an RLYE A Y-bearing?
- Look for the part number engraved on the outer ring or on the housing nameplate. The RLYE A series includes a number that defines the bore diameter. If you can't find it, measure the shaft with a caliper and send us the data.
- What is the difference between a Y-bearing and a deep groove ball bearing?
- The Y-bearing has an extended inner ring and a shaft locking system, usually set screws, which allows it to be mounted directly on shafts without a shoulder. The standard deep groove ball bearing requires an interference fit or an adapter sleeve. The Y-bearing is used in split housings and applications with simple maintenance.
- How often should a Y-bearing be lubricated in continuous service?
- The frequency depends on speed, load and environment. Under normal conditions, it is recommended to check lubrication every 2000 working hours or at each scheduled stop. If there is dust, moisture or high temperatures, shorten the interval. Use the grease recommended by the equipment manufacturer and do not mix different bases.
