The SKF SY LF/AH Y-bearing pillow block with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing with a Y-series insert bearing. It is used to mount rotating shafts in fixed structures, with self-alignment and quick fixing. It is a practical solution for power transmission in equipment requiring low maintenance.

The designation SY … LF/AH reads as follows: SY identifies the split Y-bearing pillow block with cast iron base; the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter in inches, as in SY 2.3/16 LF/AH or SY 2.7/16 LF/AH. The suffixes LF and AH refer to sealing and insert fixing variants: LF usually indicates a special seal for dusty or humid environments, and AH a fixing by set screws on the inner ring. For each size, consult the technical data sheet and verify that the diameter matches your shaft.

These pillow blocks are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, packaging lines and process equipment in the food, chemical, cement and aggregate industries. In Argentina they are common in animal feed plants, meat processing plants and water treatment plants. Their design allows mounting the shaft without machining the housing and absorbing small misalignments, which simplifies maintenance in continuous production lines.

To select the pillow block, verify the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The LF seal protects against dust and splashes; if there are frequent washdowns, consider additional seals. The AH insert is fixed to the shaft with set screws, so the fit must be firm but without deforming the ring. Lubricate as indicated by the manufacturer and check the alignment of the pillow block with the shaft to avoid parasitic loads.

Y-bearing pillow blocks with insert bearing are interchangeable between brands in terms of main dimensions, but always verify tolerances and the fixing system. An SKF pillow block can replace another of similar designation, but the sealing and fixing suffixes change performance. Do not mix inserts from different brands in the same housing without confirming compatibility. MR Accesorios Industriales carries SKF and can advise you on the appropriate equivalence.

To request a quote, send the complete code via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. Indicate the designation as it appears on your equipment or on the bearing plate. If you do not have it at hand, provide the shaft diameter and a photo of the pillow block. With that data we will confirm the SY … LF/AH variant you need and the alternatives.
