The SKF Y-bearing of the YAR series with FW and VA suffixes is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screw locking. It is used in split or pillow block housings for rotating shafts in industrial equipment. Its design allows quick mounting and easy disassembly, with good tolerance to slight misalignments. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for applications that require reliability and easy maintenance.

The designation YAR …FW/VA… is interpreted as follows: YAR identifies the series of inserts with extended inner ring and set screw locking. The number that follows indicates the bearing size. The suffix -2FW indicates that the insert has two labyrinth or contact seals, and VA201, VA224 or VA228 refer to design, lubrication or working temperature variants. For example, YAR 204-2FW/VA201 and YAR 206-2FW/VA228 share the series but differ in the treatment for specific conditions.

These bearings are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment in the food, chemical, cement and material handling industries. In Argentina, they are common in animal feed plants, aggregate treatment plants and packaging lines. Their spherical outer ring allows them to be mounted in split or pillow block housings, which absorb misalignments and facilitate replacement without completely disassembling the shaft.

To select the correct insert, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The 2FW seal protects against dust and moisture, but if there are frequent washdowns or exposure to chemicals, it is advisable to evaluate variants with better barriers. Factory lubrication may require adjustment depending on temperature and speed. During mounting, ensure the shaft is clean and free of burrs, and tighten the set screws evenly to avoid eccentricity.

Regarding equivalences, SKF YAR inserts can be interchanged with Y-bearings from other brands that share dimensions and locking type, but always verify tolerances and the sealing system. Not all suffixes are equivalent: VA201, VA224 and VA228 respond to different specifications that can affect performance. If you need to replace an existing bearing, compare the full part number and critical dimensions before deciding.
