The SYT F housing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing with a Y-series insert bearing. It is used to support shafts in transmission and conveying equipment, where quick mounting and good tolerance to misalignment are required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line for plants and factories throughout the country.
The SYT F designation is read as follows: SYT identifies the category of housings with insert bearing, the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters and the letter F defines the type of fixing and the shape of the housing. Therefore, a SYT 40 F fits a 40 mm shaft, a SYT 50 F fits a 50 mm shaft, and so on. The complete code tells you the size without needing to measure the housing.
These housings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and packaging lines. Also in aggregate processing equipment, feed plants and irrigation systems. In Argentina they are widely seen in the food industry and in grain storage plants, because the cast iron housing resists dust and ambient humidity.
To choose correctly, look at the shaft diameter and the type of fixing that the insert bearing accepts: there are versions with set screws and with taper bushing. Check the sealing according to the environment: a clean warehouse is not the same as an area with water or particles. The insert is lubricated from the factory, but it is advisable to check it if the equipment operates at high temperature or with heavy load.
When mounting, place the housing on a flat, rigid base, and align both shaft supports before tightening the bolts. The insert absorbs slight misalignment, but overdoing it shortens the bearing life. If you replace a housing from another brand, compare the shaft diameter, the distance between holes and the center height. Interchangeability between brands exists when those three measurements match.
If you have the housing code at hand, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you. We can also help you identify the correct version if you only have the shaft diameter and a photo of the housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the abbreviation SYT F mean in an SKF housing?
- SYT identifies the category of housings with insert bearing, the number that follows is the shaft diameter in millimeters and the F indicates the type of fixing and the shape of the housing. For example, SYT 40 F corresponds to a 40 mm shaft.
- How do I know if an SYT F housing replaces the one I have mounted?
- Compare the shaft diameter, the distance between the fixing holes and the height from the base to the shaft center. If those three measurements match, the housing is interchangeable. If you have doubts, send us a photo and the old code via WhatsApp.
- What lubrication does the insert bearing of an SYT F housing require?
- The insert comes lubricated from the factory and generally requires no maintenance until replacement. In environments with high humidity, dust or elevated temperature, it is advisable to check the condition of the sealing and relubricate if the equipment allows it. Consult us for the appropriate type of grease.
