The SKF Y-bearing of the YAR series is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screws, designed to be mounted in split plummer block or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment with shafts rotating at moderate speeds that require alignment and efficient sealing. The 2RF/VE495 variant incorporates double contact sealing and a surface treatment that improves corrosion resistance, ideal for environments with humidity or frequent washdowns.
The designation YAR identifies a Y-bearing with an inner ring extended on both sides and two set screws for shaft fixing. The suffix 2RF indicates double nitrile contact sealing, which retains grease and blocks the ingress of contaminants. VE495 corresponds to a special surface treatment on the outer ring and raceways, providing additional protection against corrosion. Examples YAR 205-2RF/VE495 and YAR 207-2RF/VE495 show the combination of these features for different shaft diameters.
These inserts are used in conveyors, belts, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food plants, cold storage facilities, industrial washdown areas and poultry establishments, where humidity and cleaning agents demand robust seals. They also appear in waste treatment equipment and in packaging lines that operate with periodic washdowns.
To select the appropriate Y-bearing, check the shaft diameter and the housing type. The 2RF seal is recommended in dirty or humid environments; the VE495 treatment adds resistance if there is exposure to corrosion. During mounting, clean the shaft and apply a thin layer of lubricant. Tighten the set screws with the appropriate wrench and verify the housing alignment to avoid undue axial loads. Life-long lubrication requires no additional maintenance under normal conditions.
SKF Y-bearings are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimension standard. When replacing, compare the shaft diameter, the overall width and the location of the set screws. The designation YAR may vary between manufacturers, but the key dimensions match. If in doubt, consult the supplier and verify that the seal and treatment are compatible with the working environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2RF suffix mean on a Y-bearing?
- 2RF indicates double nitrile contact sealing. This seal retains grease and prevents the ingress of dust, water or particles, extending service life in contaminated environments.
- What is the VE495 treatment for?
- VE495 is a surface treatment that improves the corrosion resistance of the outer ring and raceways. It is recommended in applications with humidity, frequent washdowns or exposure to mild chemical agents.
- How do I choose between a standard Y-bearing and one with 2RF sealing?
- If the equipment operates in a clean, dry environment, a single seal may be sufficient. However, if there is dirt, humidity or washdowns, choose the 2RF version for greater protection. Also consider the VE495 treatment if there is a risk of corrosion.
