Description
SKF YAR 205-2RF/HV is a y-bearing (insert bearing) reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for YAR 205-2RF/HV via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF Y-bearing of the YAR series is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screws for mounting in split or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment with shafts rotating at moderate speeds, where a simple bearing unit that is easy to install and replace is needed. This variant incorporates 2RF sealing and HV treatment, designed for environments with humidity or frequent washdowns.
The designation YAR identifies a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and two set screws on the inner ring to secure the shaft. The suffix 2RF indicates double contact sealing, one on each side, which retains the lubricant and blocks the entry of contaminants. HV indicates a surface treatment on the outer ring for greater corrosion resistance. Examples in the series range from YAR 204-2RF/HV to YAR 207-104-2RF/HV, with shaft dimensions that follow the typical progression of the 200 series.
These inserts are mounted in split, pillow block or flanged housings, and appear in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, industrial washers and process equipment. In Argentina they are found in food plants, meatpacking plants, tanneries and facilities where water washdowns or humid environments punish conventional bearings. The combination of 2RF sealing and HV treatment extends service life under those conditions.
To select the insert, check the shaft diameter and the type of housing where it will be seated. The 2RF seal is a contact seal and requires a shaft surface in good condition so as not to damage the lip. During mounting, clean the shaft, place the bearing without striking the outer ring and tighten the set screws with the appropriate wrench. Correct lubrication and careful alignment of the housing prevent parasitic loads and premature failures.
Y-bearings from different brands are often interchangeable if the main dimensions and the type of fixing match. The SKF YAR series corresponds to equivalent lines from other manufacturers, but before replacing it is advisable to compare bore diameter, overall width, sealing system and shaft fixing method. It is not enough for the series number to be similar: the suffix defines performance characteristics that may not be present in another brand.
If you have the part number of the bearing you are using, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data we will confirm the equivalent SKF variant and the alternatives available for your application. We can also advise you on the housing and mounting accessories if you tell us which equipment it is installed in.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RF suffix mean on a YAR bearing?
- 2RF indicates that the bearing has double contact sealing, one on each side. That seal retains the grease and prevents the entry of dust, water or particles, which makes it suitable for dirty or humid environments.
- What is the HV treatment for?
- HV is a surface treatment of the outer ring that improves corrosion resistance. It is recommended for equipment that is washed frequently or works in humid environments, where a standard bearing would rust faster.
- How do I know if a Y-bearing from another brand replaces the YAR?
- Compare bore diameter, overall width, type of sealing and shaft fixing method. If they match, it may be interchangeable. It is still advisable to verify with the original part number because suffixes change between manufacturers.
