The SKF PFT TF series is a ready-to-mount assembly that pairs a Y-bearing insert with a housing. It supports and guides rotating shafts in compact installations that need simple alignment. MR supplies this line and can help you match the unit to your application.
The code breaks down into three parts. The PFT portion describes the housing: a two-bolt design shaped to sit flat on a mounting surface. The number that follows — 20 in PFT 20 TF, or 25 in PFT 25 TF — is the shaft diameter in millimeters. The TF suffix identifies a construction variant, typically tied to the seal arrangement and housing form. Reading the code this way makes it straightforward to find either the insert or the complete unit.
You will find these units in food and beverage plants, packaging lines, conveyors, processing equipment, agricultural machinery and ventilation systems. Their compact, self-aligning design suits metal or sheet metal structures and absorbs small shaft-to-housing misalignments. They are a practical choice for moderate loads and medium speeds where maintenance stays simple.
Selection starts with shaft diameter, then load type (radial, axial or combined), operating environment and speed. Seal choice matters: dusty, wet or washdown conditions call for seals that keep contamination out. At mounting, confirm the housing and shaft are aligned and the fastening screws are tight. A routine lubrication and inspection schedule will help the assembly last.
When replacing a unit, compare actual dimensions rather than codes alone. Center height, hole spacing and fastening style can differ between brands, so check the housing and insert measurements against drawings or samples before ordering. SKF PFT TF units have counterparts from other makers, but fit must be confirmed case by case.

Frequently asked questions
- What does PFT 20 TF indicate?
- PFT is the two-bolt housing type, 20 is the shaft diameter in millimeters, and TF is the construction variant. These three elements let you locate the insert or the complete unit.
- How can I check if a Y-bearing housing fits my machine?
- Measure the shaft diameter, the distance between mounting holes, the center height and the seal type, then compare them with the original housing. If anything is unclear, send a photo or the code and we will help.
- What maintenance does a bearing insert unit with housing need?
- Check screw tightness, seal condition and lubrication at regular intervals. In dusty or wet areas, inspect more often and replace worn seals. Good lubrication helps the assembly last.
