The SKF SYWK LTHR series Y-bearing housed unit is an assembled unit that combines an insert bearing with a cast iron housing, ready to mount on shafts and structures. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment, especially where there is dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right configuration for your application.

The SYWK LTHR designation is read in parts: SYWK identifies the category of Y-bearing housed units with insert bearing and screw locking, LTHR indicates an execution with special sealing and high weather resistance. The number between the two letters corresponds to the shaft diameter, as in the example SYWK 50 LTHR, where 50 indicates the nominal diameter in millimeters. This nomenclature lets you order the exact replacement without ambiguity.

These housed units are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and process equipment in food, chemical and water treatment plants. In Argentina they are common in the oilseed, meatpacking and mining industries, where high-pressure water washdown or dust exposure demands reliable sealing. They also appear in road and agricultural machinery operating outdoors.

To select the housed unit, check the shaft diameter and the type of mounting your structure accepts. The LTHR series incorporates seals that retain grease and block the entry of contaminants; if the environment is very humid, it is advisable to check the condition of the lips and renew lubrication periodically. During mounting, align the housing with the shaft and tighten the locking screws without forcing, to avoid preloads that shorten bearing life.

Y-bearing housed units are interchangeable between manufacturers that follow the same mounting dimensions and shaft diameters. If you need to replace an existing unit, compare the housing height, the distance between holes and the insert locking system. In many cases, a housing from another brand with the same dimensional designation can be mounted without modifications, although sealing and lubrication may vary between lines.

If you have the full part number of your housed unit, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote the part or its equivalent.
