The SKF RLYE series covers Y-bearings that have an extended inner ring and are locked to the shaft with set screws. They mount directly on the shaft and sit inside split or pillow block housings, so maintenance crews can install or remove them without pulling the whole shaft assembly. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps buyers match the exact variant to shaft size and locking style.
Reading the RLYE code: the digits right after the letters give the base bearing size, while a hyphenated number shows an inch bore. For example, RLYE 206-103, RLYE 206-104, RLYE 207 and RLYE 207-106 all follow that pattern. A metric bore appears without the hyphen. Because suffixes can also point to different seals or locking arrangements, confirm the complete part number before you order.
You will find these bearings in conveyors, transmission equipment, packaging lines, ventilation systems and agricultural machinery. Food processing, cement and aggregate plants rely on them where dust and moisture are present, and they also show up in metalworking and material handling. Their ability to fit split housings makes field service simpler, since the shaft does not have to be dismantled.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, load direction (radial, axial or combined) and the surrounding environment. In wet or dusty areas, contact seals are the better choice. Use the lubricant specified for the bearing and refresh it according to the duty cycle. When mounting, line up the housing and tighten the set screws onto the shaft properly, avoiding any impact on the outer ring. Good mounting practice supports service life and helps avoid early failures.
Interchange between brands is not automatic. Even when dimensions are standardized, sealing, internal clearance and locking method can differ. When replacing a bearing, look beyond diameter and width: compare the set screw type, lubrication hole position and seal material. The original complete part number remains the most reliable reference.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the hyphenated suffix mean in an RLYE bearing?
- It indicates an inch bore. In RLYE 206-103, the 206 is the base bearing size and 103 is the shaft diameter in inches. Without a hyphen, the bore is metric.
- How do I check if an SKF Y-bearing fits my housing?
- Match the bearing outer diameter and width to the housing bore. Also confirm the locking type (set screws or eccentric) and the lubrication hole location. The original complete part number is the safest reference.
- What lubricant works for Y-bearings in humid conditions?
- Use lithium complex or calcium sulfonate greases that resist water washout. Pair them with contact seals and relubricate based on the duty cycle. Contact us for a grease recommendation for your equipment.
