The SKF Y-bearing housing with insert bearing series TUWK LTA is an assembled unit that combines a housing unit with an insert bearing from the Y line. It is used to mount rotating shafts on fixed structures, allowing rotation with alignment and support of radial loads. It is a practical solution for light and medium transmissions, very common in industrial and agricultural equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand.
The designation TUWK 20 LTA is interpreted as follows: TUWK identifies the type of housing, with a specific design of the housing and the insert; the number 20 indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters, in this case 20 mm; LTA is a suffix that indicates sealing, lubrication or construction variants specific to the series. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to order the correct replacement and verify compatibility with other systems.
These housings are used in conveyors, elevators, mixers, fans, agricultural machinery and process equipment. In Argentina, they are common in food plants, meat processing plants, cement plants and metalworking shops. Their compact format and simple mounting make them ideal for shafts that require support at the ends or at intermediate points, with the possibility of self-alignment to absorb small misalignments.
To select the housing, check the shaft diameter, the type of load and the environmental conditions. The insert seal must protect against dust and moisture; in aggressive environments, choose versions with additional seals. Mounting requires cleaning the shaft, lubricating the raceway and tightening the locking screws to the proper torque. Initial alignment and periodic lubrication extend the service life of the assembly.
Regarding equivalents, Y-bearing housings with insert bearing from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions, type of locking and sealing match. However, always verify the tolerances and the insert locking system. The SKF TUWK LTA series has equivalents in other brands, but the exact dimensions may vary. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you to find the right alternative.
