The SKF Y-bearing of the YAR series is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screw fixing, designed to be mounted in split plummer block or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment with rotating shafts where a simple, easy-to-maintain bearing unit is required. Its 2RF seal offers protection against contaminants, and the W64 variant indicates a special treatment for specific applications.
The designation YAR …RF/W… is interpreted as follows: YAR identifies the series of inserts with extended inner ring and two set screws for shaft fixing. The central number (for example, 208 or 209) indicates the bearing size according to the shaft diameter. The suffix 2RF indicates the seal type: double rubber lip with metal reinforcement, which retains grease and blocks contaminants. W64 corresponds to a variant with special treatment, which may be for high temperatures or particular conditions. Examples YAR 208-2RF/W64 and YAR 209-2RF/W64 show this structure.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina: conveyors, mixers, fans, pumps, mills, belt conveyors and agricultural machinery. They are common in food, cement, mining and aggregate processing plants, where the environment may be dusty or humid. Their design allows mounting in split plummer block or pillow block housings, facilitating replacement and alignment. MR Accesorios Industriales distributes this SKF line for the Argentine market.
To select the correct Y-bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and environmental conditions. The 2RF seal is suitable for environments with dust or moderate humidity; if there is exposure to liquids, consider additional seals. Factory lubrication is usually lithium grease, but verify compatibility if you are going to relubricate. During mounting, ensure the shaft is clean and free of burrs, and tighten the set screws with a torque wrench to the recommended torque. Housing alignment is critical to avoid additional loads.
Regarding equivalences, SKF Y-bearings can be interchanged with those of other brands that follow the same dimension standard. The YAR designation is specific to SKF, but other manufacturers use similar nomenclatures for inserts with extended ring and set screw fixing. Always verify the critical dimensions: shaft diameter, overall width, outer diameter and seal type. Do not invent part numbers: if in doubt, consult us and we will help you find the appropriate equivalent.
