The SKF SYFWK LTHR is a pre-assembled unit that combines a pillow block housing with an insert bearing that locks using set screws. It provides a ready-to-mount solution for supporting rotating shafts on fixed structures, eliminating the need to machine the housing. This makes it a practical choice for belt, chain, or coupling drives in industrial machinery. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and offers technical guidance to help you select the right size.

The part number SYFWK LTHR can be broken down as follows: SYFWK denotes the pillow block housing series with an insert bearing and set screw locking, while LTHR specifies the sealing and lubrication variant. The central number in the full designation indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters, covering sizes from 20 to 50 mm. This coding system lets you quickly identify the size and features of the assembly.

These housings are commonly found in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, mills, and transmission equipment across food, chemical, cement, and aggregate plants. Their pillow block design allows mounting to profiles, beds, or metal structures using four bolts. The LTHR sealing provides protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for demanding environments.

When selecting a housing, consider the shaft diameter, expected radial and axial loads, and environmental conditions. If frequent washdowns or fine particles are present, additional protection may be needed. During installation, ensure the base is fully supported and tighten the insert locking screws to the recommended torque. Although the unit is lubricated for life, periodic inspection is advisable in severe environments.

For replacements, insert bearing housings from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions match: shaft diameter, hole spacing, height to center, and locking type. Always verify tolerances and the sealing system, as these can vary between manufacturers. The safest approach is to compare the complete designation and the actual housing dimensions.
