This SKF unit arrives pre-assembled: a cast iron housing paired with an insert ball bearing, ready to slide onto a shaft. It supports and guides rotating shafts in transmission equipment, and its compact layout keeps alignment simple. Set screws lock the bearing to the shaft inside the housing, which cuts maintenance time and limits downtime.
Reading the code: SY tells you it is a Y-bearing unit with an insert bearing. The number after it is the shaft size, either metric (SY 25 WF, SY 30 WF) or inch (SY 1.15/16 WF, SY 2.3/16 WF). WF marks a variant with particular sealing and fixing traits, intended for dusty or damp conditions. Metric options run from 25 mm to 50 mm shaft diameter; inch options span 1.15/16" to 2.3/16". Match the number to your measured shaft.
You will find these units in food processing, material handling, farm equipment, packaging lines, conveyors and ventilation systems. The housing and insert sealing handle dust, dirt and moderate moisture. Because the unit self-aligns, it absorbs small angular differences between shaft and mounting surface, lowering the chance of early failure and making installation on steel or concrete straightforward.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined) and the surrounding environment. Check that the sealing suits your contamination level; add extra seals in very dirty areas. At assembly, line up housing and shaft, then torque the insert set screws as specified. Factory grease normally lasts a long time, though harsh duty may call for scheduled relubrication.
When swapping units, do not trust the designation alone. Brands can differ in center height, mounting hole spacing and sealing style. Measure the actual part before ordering. Send the full part number and shaft dimensions if you want help finding a replacement.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the WF suffix indicate on SY units?
- WF identifies a unit variant with specific sealing and fixing features, made for dusty, dirty or moderately wet settings. Housing dimensions stay the same; the insert bearing's protection changes.
- How do I pick between a metric and an inch SY unit?
- It depends on your shaft. Metric shafts take references like SY 25 WF or SY 30 WF; inch shafts use fractional references such as SY 1.15/16 WF or SY 2.3/16 WF. Confirm the shaft size with a caliper before ordering.
- Is the unit lubricated from the factory?
- SKF insert bearings typically ship with factory grease for extended initial service. High temperatures, high speeds or contaminated conditions may require periodic relubrication. Follow your maintenance plan.
