The SKF PFT series Y-bearing insert housing unit arrives preassembled, combining an insert bearing with a cast iron or sheet steel housing. It mounts directly onto shafts and structures, making it a practical choice for equipment that needs a compact, easy-to-align bearing solution. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line as part of its bearing housing range, with technical support to help you select the correct size for your application.
The PFT code identifies a category of Y-bearing insert housing units. The number that follows specifies the shaft diameter the insert fits: this is why PFT 40, PFT 47, PFT 52, PFT 62, PFT 72, and PFT 80 all exist as separate sizes. Each code corresponds to a particular housing and bearing combination, and suffixes may indicate sealing or locking variations. For accurate identification, the complete code is the most dependable reference.
These units are commonly found in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, and process lines across food, chemical, cement, and aggregate plants. Their compact design and bolt-mounting capability suit folded sheet steel or cast iron structures where rigidity and straightforward alignment are required.
When selecting a housing, begin with the shaft diameter and the load type: radial, axial, or combined. Check the insert sealing based on the environment—dust, moisture, or washdowns. During installation, make sure the mounting surface is clean and flat, and tighten bolts evenly to avoid deforming the housing. Lubricate the insert according to the manufacturer's recommendation, and verify shaft alignment to prevent parasitic stresses.
Y-bearing insert housing units are offered by various brands under their own part numbering systems. While shaft sizes often match, direct interchangeability should not be assumed: always confirm mounting dimensions, insert locking style, and sealing. For replacement, the code stamped on the part or the shaft and housing measurements are your best starting points to find a suitable equivalent.
If you have the housing code or the shaft and housing dimensions, send them via WhatsApp. At MR Industrial Accessories LLC, we help you identify the part and determine the option that fits your equipment. We work with leading brands to answer technical inquiries promptly.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number in a PFT housing mean?
- The number after PFT indicates the shaft diameter the insert bearing is designed for. For instance, PFT 40 fits a 40 mm shaft. Always confirm with the complete code stamped on the part.
- How do I choose between a cast iron and a sheet steel housing?
- It depends on load and environment. Cast iron typically provides greater rigidity and impact resistance; sheet steel is lighter and more economical for moderate loads. Also consider corrosion and the mounting type available on your equipment.
- Can I replace a housing from another brand with an SKF one?
- In many cases yes, but it is not automatic. Verify mounting dimensions, shaft diameter, insert locking type, and sealing. Send us the dimensions or the original code via WhatsApp and we will advise you on finding the equivalent.
