The SKF Y-bearing YEL FW series is an insert with an extended inner ring and set screw locking, designed to be mounted in split or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where alignment is not perfect and a unit that absorbs slight misalignment is needed. Its FW seal protects it from dust and moisture, making it common in transport, agriculture and industrial plants. If you need to replace it, send us the part number and we'll quote it.
The YEL FW series designation reads as follows: YEL identifies a Y-bearing with extended inner ring and set screw locking; FW indicates the seal type. The examples YEL 205-100-2FW, YEL 206-103-2FW and YEL 206-104-2FW show the structure: the first number (205, 206) defines the insert size, the second block (100, 103, 104) the shaft diameter and the suffix 2FW the seal. To choose, compare the full part number with the one on the equipment.
This type of insert is used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, mixers and process equipment. In Argentina it is common in grain plants, feed lots, meatpacking plants, tanneries and metalworking facilities. It also appears in road machinery, seeders and material handling equipment. The combination of extended ring and set screw locking allows mounting on shafts without a shoulder and dismounting with simple tools, which is useful when maintenance is done in the field.
To select the insert, check the shaft diameter and the housing where it will be seated. The FW seal protects against dust and splashes, but does not replace good lubrication: use medium-consistency grease and renew it according to the environment. When mounting, tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the appropriate wrench and verify that the outer ring is aligned with the housing. Excessive axial play or poor alignment shortens bearing life.
Y-bearings are available in several brands and equivalent series. Interchangeability is not automatic: even if the part number is similar, the seal type, tolerance or locking system may change. Always compare the main dimensions and the locking type before replacing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell SKF as an official brand and can guide you if the original part number is not available.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the FW suffix mean on an SKF Y-bearing?
- The FW suffix indicates the seal type of the insert. In the YEL FW series, the seal protects against dust and moisture, suitable for industrial environments. It does not change the main dimensions, but it does change the protection. Verify the full part number before requesting the replacement.
- How do I know if the YEL FW bearing is compatible with my housing?
- Compare the shaft diameter and the housing seat with the insert dimensions. The YEL series has an extended inner ring and set screw locking. If the housing is split or pillow block, verify that the outer ring matches. If in doubt, consult us with the part number.
- What lubrication does a YEL FW bearing require?
- Use medium-consistency grease, suitable for the working temperature and environment. In dusty or humid areas, renew it more frequently. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions and avoid mixing greases with different bases.
