The SKF F…BM …-TF series combines a housing unit with a Y-series insert bearing in one assembled piece. It supports rotating shafts where installation needs to be straightforward and the insert itself handles alignment. Typical uses include conveyors, fans and agricultural equipment.
Reading the code helps you pick the right unit. The first letter F shows the housing category; BM tells you the housing type and how it fastens. The number after BM is the shaft diameter the insert fits, and -TF marks a construction variant in the series. For example, in F4BM 215-TF the 215 refers to the shaft size. Keep the shaft diameter and mounting style handy when ordering.
You will find these housings on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, centrifugal fans and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. They also appear on agricultural machines such as seeders and harvesters, where conditions are tough and a sturdy support with simple upkeep is needed. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line to equipment builders and maintenance operations.
When selecting a housing, confirm that the shaft diameter matches the number in the code and that the housing type suits the mounting surface. The insert usually includes sealing to hold grease in and keep contaminants out; in dusty or damp areas, check the sealing type. Grease goes in through the built-in nipple using a lubricant rated for the operating temperature. Align housings correctly during assembly to avoid extra loads and extend bearing life.
Y-bearing housings with insert bearings from different makers can be swapped if key dimensions agree: shaft diameter, distance between fixing holes, height to center and how the insert is secured. A similar code is not enough; compare the drawing dimensions. Equivalents from various origins exist, but tolerances and sealing may differ. If unsure, send us the measurements or the original code and we will help you find a suitable option.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I determine which SKF Y-bearing housing code I need?
- You need the shaft diameter and the mounting type. The number in the designation, such as 215 in F4BM 215-TF, indicates the shaft. If you do not have the code, send us the shaft measurements and the distance between fixing holes.
- Does this housing include the insert bearing?
- Yes, it is an assembled unit: the housing and the Y-series insert bearing come together. That is why it is quoted as a single unit. If you need only the insert or only the housing, contact us on WhatsApp.
- What lubrication does the insert bearing use?
- It uses general-purpose bearing grease. Apply it with a grease gun through the built-in nipple. The frequency depends on the environment and working hours. For dusty or wet conditions, choose a grease with better washout resistance.
