The SKF SYT FTS housed unit is an assembly made up of a cast iron housing and an insert bearing with set screw locking. It is used to mount rotating shafts on fixed structures, especially when a robust support with easy alignment is needed. It is a common solution in power transmission, conveying and process equipment where maintenance must be simple and reliable. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice to select the correct size.
The SYT FTS designation is read as follows: SYT identifies the series of housed units with insert bearing and set screw locking; the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter for which the assembly is intended, and FTS indicates sealing and housing configuration variants. In the series examples, such as SYT 50 FTS, SYT 65 FTS and SYT 75 FTS, the central number changes according to the shaft. To choose, send the complete code and the working conditions.
These housed units appear in conveyors, elevators, mixers, mills, pumps and fans. In Argentina they are seen in food, cement, chemical and agricultural plants, where dust and humidity require a sealed support. They are also used in old machines that are reconditioned, because they allow the bearing to be replaced without modifying the structure. The cast iron housing absorbs vibrations and facilitates leveling on welded frames.
To select correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The FTS sealing protects against dust and splashes, but if there are frequent washdowns, additional protection should be evaluated. During mounting, ensure the base rests flat, align the housed units and tighten the set screws on the shaft with the appropriate wrench. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and check clearance after the first hours.
Housed units with insert bearing are interchangeable between brands if the main dimensions match: shaft diameter, hole spacing, height to center and type of locking. SKF, NSK, NTN, FAG and Timken offer equivalent lines, but suffixes may change the sealing or tolerance. Do not replace one code with another without checking those dimensions. If in doubt, send us the original code and a photo of the mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the abbreviation FTS mean in this housed unit?
- FTS indicates a sealing and housing configuration variant of the SYT housed unit. It is not a universal code: each manufacturer may use different letters for similar protections. To know exactly what sealing it has, send us the complete code and we will verify it with the available technical information.
- Can it be mounted on a worn shaft?
- The insert bearing is locked onto the shaft with set screws. If the wear is slight, it may work; if it is deep, it is advisable to repair the shaft or use a sleeve. Always check that the diameter is within the tolerance indicated for the housed unit before mounting.
- How do I request a quote for an SYT FTS?
- Write to us on WhatsApp with the complete code (for example, SYT 50 FTS), the quantity and the intended use. If you do not have the code, send the shaft dimensions and the hole spacing of the old housed unit. That way we can identify the appropriate option.
