The SKF Y-bearing YEL FWU 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 robust, easy-to-replace unit is needed. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line for industrial applications in Argentina.
The YEL FWU series designation reads as follows: YEL identifies the category of Y-bearings with extended inner ring and set screw locking; FWU indicates the sealing and cage characteristics. The examples YEL 206-102-2FWU, YEL 207-2FWU, YEL 207-106-2FWU and YEL 209-112-2FWU show that the first number (206, 207, 209) defines the basic size, while the second group (102, 106, 112) corresponds to the shaft diameter in inches when present. The suffix 2FWU is repeated throughout the series and accounts for the type of sealing and lubrication.
These bearings are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina they are common in the oilseed, meatpacking and mining industries, where dust, humidity or washdowns demand reliable sealing. They also appear in road and agricultural machinery, on low and medium speed shafts with moderate radial loads.
To select the YEL FWU, check the shaft diameter and the housing type. Set screw locking requires the shaft to have adequate hardness and the screws to be tightened with a torque wrench. The FWU seal protects against contaminants; if the environment is very dirty, add seals or labyrinths. Factory lubrication can be replenished according to the duty cycle. During mounting, align the housing and avoid impacts on the insert.
Regarding interchangeability, Y-bearings with extended ring and set screw locking from different brands usually share main dimensions, but the sealing, cage or permissible load may vary. Do not assume direct equivalence from the code: compare the drawing and performance. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you if you send us the original code and a photo of the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the FWU suffix mean in a YEL bearing?
- The FWU suffix indicates the type of sealing and the cage characteristics of the bearing. It is not a size code; the size is defined by the basic number (for example, 206, 207, 209). To interpret the complete code, it is best to consult the entire designation.
- How is a YEL FWU bearing mounted in a split housing?
- The insert is placed in the housing, the shaft is aligned and the set screws of the inner ring are tightened to the recommended torque. It is important that the shaft is clean and free of burrs. For loads in one direction, check the position of the screws.
- Does this bearing come lubricated from the factory?
- Yes, SKF YEL FWU series Y-bearings usually come with factory lubricant. In demanding applications, they can be relubricated through the channel provided in the outer ring. The frequency depends on speed, temperature and contamination level.
