The SKF YAR series Y-bearing is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screws for mounting on shafts and housing in split or pillow block housings. The …RFGR/HV variant adds reinforced sealing and a special heat treatment for high temperatures. It is used in equipment where the bearing must withstand heat, dust and moisture, such as ovens, dryers or conveyors. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this SKF line and advises you on choosing the correct size.

The designation YAR identifies a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring, with two set screws for fixing to the shaft. The suffix 2RFGR indicates double contact sealing with a rubber lip, which protects against dust and splashes. HV indicates a special heat treatment for high-temperature service. Examples such as YAR 204-2RFGR/HV or YAR 208-108-2RFGR/HV show the basic size and, when it appears, the bore diameter in inches. The final numeric code defines the bearing size.

These bearings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, rotary dryers, bakery ovens, foundry equipment and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food, ceramic and cement plants and in aggregate processing, where heat and contamination shorten the life of standard bearings. The combination of reinforced sealing and HV treatment allows service to be sustained under these demanding conditions.

To select, check the shaft diameter and the type of housing. The 2RFGR seal comes from the factory; do not remove or modify it. The lubricant must be compatible with high temperatures: synthetic or silicone-based grease depending on the operating range. When mounting, align the housing and tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the appropriate wrench, without striking the inner ring. A minimum axial clearance prevents overloads due to thermal expansion.

Regarding equivalences, Y-bearings are interchanged between brands by their basic designation and dimensions. An SKF YAR can be replaced by an insert from another brand with the same bore diameter, width and sealing configuration. But the HV treatment and the 2RFGR seal are specific: if the equipment operates at high temperature, do not substitute it with a standard bearing. Always check the critical dimensions before replacing.

If you need to replace an SKF YAR series Y-bearing, send us the full code that appears on the bearing or on the housing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote you on WhatsApp and help you confirm the correct variant for your application.
