The SKF SYFJ TF Y-bearing unit is a compact unit that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, ready to mount on shafts and bolt to the structure. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in equipment where simple mounting and low maintenance are required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right size.
The SYFJ TF designation is read in parts: SYFJ identifies the cast iron Y-bearing housing with insert bearing and screw fixing, TF indicates the sealing type and the insert's features. Examples in the series are SYFJ 20 TF, SYFJ 30 TF and SYFJ 45 TF, where the middle number refers to the shaft diameter for which the unit is intended. Each size keeps the same construction logic, with the housing and insert bearing dimensions varying.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, conveyor belts and process equipment in the food, chemical, cement and aggregate industries. In Argentina they are common in animal feed plants, crushing plants and material handling systems, where a robust unit that is easy to replace is required. Their design allows mounting the shaft with normal tolerance and bolting the housing to the structure.
To select the housing, check the shaft diameter, the expected radial and axial load, and the environmental conditions. The TF sealing protects against dust and moderate moisture; if there is frequent washing or heavy contamination, consider additional seals. The insert bearing usually comes pre-lubricated; during mounting, align the housing with the shaft and tighten the insert's fixing screws to the recommended torque. Periodic lubrication and correct alignment extend service life.
Regarding interchangeability, Y-bearing units from different brands may differ in mounting dimensions, fixing system and sealing type. Matching the shaft diameter is not enough: you must compare the hole spacing, the height to the center and the insert shape. If you need to replace an existing unit, the safest approach is to start from the complete part number and verify the critical dimensions against the drawing or the original part.
MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the SKF line of Y-bearing units as an official brand, with more than 80 years of experience in industrial distribution. If you have the part number SYFJ 20 TF, SYFJ 30 TF or SYFJ 45 TF, send it by WhatsApp along with a photo of the mounting and we will help you confirm the variant to request a quote.
