The SYR housing with SKF insert bearing is a bearing unit mounted in a cast iron housing, designed for inch shafts. It is used in equipment that requires support and rotation with flexible alignment, such as conveyors, fans and agricultural machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line with technical advice to select the correct size according to the shaft diameter and working conditions.
The designation SYR … N is read as follows: SYR identifies the housing with insert bearing, the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter in inches (with fractions expressed as decimals) and the final letter N indicates the type of fastening of the insert to the shaft, which in this series is by means of set screws. For example, SYR 1.7/16 N corresponds to a 1.7/16 inch shaft, SYR 2 N to 2 inches and SYR 3.7/16 N to 3.7/16 inches. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to order the exact replacement.
These housings are used in Argentine industries such as food, agriculture, logistics and metalworking. They appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and process equipment. Their flanged or pillow block housing format facilitates mounting on metal structures and allows small misalignments between the shaft and the housing to be compensated, which simplifies maintenance in plants with vibrations or moderate loads.
To select the correct housing, take into account the shaft diameter in inches, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The insert comes factory-lubricated and sealed to retain grease and exclude contaminants; if the environment is very dirty or humid, additional seals should be evaluated. During mounting, make sure the shaft is clean and free of burrs, tighten the set screws onto the shaft and check alignment with the housing to avoid parasitic stresses.
As for equivalents, SKF SYR housings can be interchanged with other brands that offer similar units, such as SKF SY series or UC series from other companies, as long as the shaft diameter, the type of fastening and the housing dimensions match. It is essential to verify the mounting dimensions and load capacity before replacing a unit. If you have doubts, consult us with the complete part number and we will help you find the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which SYR housing size I need?
- Measure the shaft diameter in inches and look it up in the designation. For example, SYR 2 N is for a 2 inch shaft. If the shaft is worn, check with a caliper. Also consider the type of load and the environment.
- Does this housing come with the insert bearing included?
- Yes, the SYR unit includes the housing and the insert bearing mounted and factory-lubricated. It is supplied as a ready-to-install assembly. If you need only the insert, consult us about that option.
- Can I replace a housing from another brand with an SKF SYR one?
- In many cases yes, if the shaft diameter, the type of fastening and the mounting dimensions match. We recommend verifying the housing height and the distance between holes. Send us the dimensions and we will advise you.
