The SKF FYTBK is a ready-to-mount assembly that pairs an oval flanged housing with a Y-series insert bearing, letting you support a rotating shaft on a flat surface. Because the insert is self-aligning and comes pre-lubricated, it suits light and medium drives that run continuously. This line is available through MR Industrial Accessories LLC, and our team can help you match the exact variant to your application.
Reading the designation: FYTBK identifies the oval flanged housing. The figure following the underscore, as in FYTBK 20 WD/VL244, is the shaft diameter in millimeters and changes from one part number to the next. WD tells you the insert carries a special seal for dusty or damp conditions, while VL244 points to the grease type and the temperature range the unit is intended for. Getting these suffixes right is what ensures you order the correct replacement.
Typical duties include belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and industrial washers. Food processing plants, tanneries and metalworking shops favor them because the insert can be swapped out quickly without disturbing the shaft. They also show up on agricultural equipment and on packaging lines that are cleaned often.
When selecting, confirm the shaft diameter first, then the mounting style: oval flange, square flange or pillow block. A WD seal fits dirty or washdown areas, while a standard insert is fine in clean indoor spaces. During installation, seat the flange flat and tighten the bolts evenly. The insert's radial clearance absorbs small alignment errors, but a shaft that is out of line will wear the unit faster. Re-lubricate only where the insert permits it, using the grease indicated by the suffix.
SKF housings in this series interchange with other makes built to the same flange standard and shaft diameter, and the insert can also be substituted when its dimensions and mounting type match. Our team can check the equivalence against your original part number. Before swapping anything, compare shaft diameter, bolt hole spacing and seal type.
Send the housing or insert bearing part number by WhatsApp or email and we will prepare your quote. We can also advise you on changing the seal or the mounting style, and we supply several leading brands to cover different applications.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the WD suffix mean in an FYTBK part number?
- WD indicates that the insert bearing uses a special seal intended for dusty, humid or frequently washed environments. The housing dimensions stay the same; the difference is the added protection for the insert under tougher conditions.
- Should I choose an oval flanged housing or a pillow block?
- An oval flange bolts to a flat surface and holds the shaft perpendicular to it. A pillow block is used when the shaft runs parallel to the base. Your decision comes down to the space available and the direction of the load.
- Can an SKF insert be replaced with one from another manufacturer?
- Yes, provided the shaft diameter, flange dimensions and mounting type all match. International standards support interchangeability between brands, though it is still worth checking the seal and lubrication before you make the change.
