SKF SYL 20 TR/VE495 belongs to y-bearing unit, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for SYL 20 TR/VE495 and any equivalents.
This SKF Y-bearing unit pairs a housing with a ball insert bearing, forming a ready-to-mount assembly for supporting rotating shafts. It is suited to equipment that needs a compact, self-aligning solution and straightforward shaft fixing, which helps simplify maintenance routines.
The SYL series code identifies both the housing and the insert bearing. In SYL 20 TR/VE495, SYL is the series, 20 is the shaft diameter in millimeters, TR indicates an insert bearing with a spherical outer ring, and VE495 is a specific sealing and lubrication variant. Reading these suffixes correctly lets you order the exact replacement.
Typical applications include conveyors, belts, mixers, fans, pumps and machine tools in industries such as food, chemical, textile and metallurgical. The self-aligning design tolerates slight shaft misalignment or deflection, and mounting is simple enough to speed up preventive or corrective maintenance.
When selecting a unit, consider shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined), operating environment (dust, humidity, temperature) and the shaft fixing method. Sealing matters: suffixes like VE495 signal added protection against contaminants. During installation, check alignment between housing and structure, tighten the fixing screws and lubricate as specified to support service life.
For replacements, Y-bearing units from different brands can vary in critical dimensions such as center height, hole spacing and fixing type. Verify actual measurements before substituting a unit. SKF is a brand MR supplies, so you can request the correct reference and technical guidance.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the correct part number for an SKF Y-bearing unit?
- The part number combines the series, shaft diameter and suffixes for insert bearing features. In SYL 20 TR/VE495, SYL is the series, 20 the diameter in mm, TR the outer ring type and VE495 the sealing. Send a photo or the engraved number and we will help confirm it.
- What does the VE495 suffix mean on an SKF bearing housing?
- VE495 identifies a specific sealing and lubrication variant of the insert bearing. These variants provide greater protection against contaminants and humidity, which can extend service life in demanding environments. Ask us with the complete part number for details.
- Are SKF Y-bearing units interchangeable with other brands?
- They may be interchangeable if critical dimensions match: shaft diameter, center height, fixing hole spacing and sealing type. Not all brands use the same measurements, so verify with instruments before replacing. We can help you find the right equivalent.
