The SKF YAR …F series Y-bearing is an insert with extended inner ring and two set screws, designed to be mounted on shafts and housed in split or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where a simple, robust and easy-to-replace bearing unit is needed. Its 2F sealing protects it from dust and moisture, and the set screws allow it to be fixed to the shaft without additional machining.

The designation YAR identifies a Y-bearing with extended inner ring on both sides and two set screws in the inner ring. The number that follows — for example, in YAR 204-2F — indicates the size: the 204 series corresponds to a 20 mm bore diameter. The suffix -2F indicates the sealing type: a single lip seal that retains grease and blocks contaminants. In examples with a hyphen and three digits, such as YAR 203-008-2F, the numeric suffix defines an inch shaft size (008 = 1/2"). Suffixes with a slash, such as YAR 203/12-2F, indicate bore diameter in millimeters (12 mm).

These inserts are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food plants, cement plants, quarries and agro-industrial facilities, where equipment operates with dust, moisture and moderate loads. They are also found in packaging lines and material handling equipment. The combination of set screws and sealing makes them suitable for shafts rotating at medium speeds and requiring simple maintenance.

To select the appropriate Y-bearing, verify the shaft diameter and the type of housing where it will be housed. The 2F sealing is suitable for environments with dust and splashes; if frequent washdowns occur, more sealed seals should be evaluated. During assembly, clean the shaft and apply the set screws with a torque wrench according to the recommended torque. Verify housing alignment and lubricate with lithium or compatible grease. Misaligned assembly accelerates seal wear and reduces service life.

SKF Y-bearings are interchangeable with those from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation. When replacing, compare bore diameter, total width and set screw location. The 203, 204 and 205 series cover the most common sizes; for inch shafts, the numeric suffixes allow identifying the equivalence. If in doubt, the complete code engraved on the bearing is the safest reference for ordering the replacement.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry the SKF line as an official brand. If you need to replace a Y-bearing, send us the complete code — for example, YAR 205-2F — via WhatsApp and we will quote you. We can also advise you on the appropriate housing and lubrication for your application.
