The SKF Y-bearing of the YAR series is an insert with an extended inner ring, designed to be mounted in split or pillow block housings to form bearing units for rotating shafts. It is used in equipment where ease of assembly and sealing are key. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand, with technical advice so you can choose the appropriate variant for your application.

The designation YAR …F/VA… is read as follows: YAR identifies the family of inserts with extended inner ring and set screws; the three-digit number indicates the shaft diameter (for example, 204 for 20 mm shafts, 205 for 25 mm, 206 for 30 mm). The -2F suffix indicates the type of sealing, and VA201 or VA228 refer to lubrication and heat treatment variants for specific temperature conditions. In codes with an additional hyphen, such as YAR 205-100-2F/VA201, the intermediate segment defines a special inch shaft size. Always verify the complete code before ordering.

These inserts are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural or food machinery. In Argentina they are common in food and beverage plants, in the chemical industry and in process equipment that operates at elevated temperatures or requires frequent washdowns. The combination with split plummer block housings allows aligning and replacing the bearing without completely disassembling the shaft, which reduces maintenance downtime.

To select correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The -2F sealing protects against dust and humidity; the VA variants are designed for wide temperature ranges. During assembly, ensure correct alignment of the housing, tighten the set screws on the inner ring and verify radial clearance. Proper lubrication and prior cleaning of the shaft prevent premature failures.

Regarding equivalences, Y inserts are interchangeable between manufacturers if the main dimensions, type of fixing and sealing match. There is no universal table: each brand codes differently. Therefore, when looking for a replacement, compare shaft diameter, overall width, outer diameter and locking system. If you have doubts, consult us with the exact measurement and the original code; at MR Accesorios Industriales we guide you to find the compatible option.

If you already have the code of the bearing you need, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote the corresponding SKF variant. We can also advise you if you are replacing an insert from another brand or if you need to confirm measurements before purchasing.
