The SKF SYWK LTHR series is a ready-to-mount unit that pairs an insert bearing with a cast iron housing. It supports rotating shafts in power transmission systems, particularly where dust, moisture or regular washdowns are present. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and offers technical guidance to match the right configuration to your application.
The code breaks down into two parts: SYWK denotes a Y-bearing housed unit with insert bearing and screw locking, while LTHR signals a version with special sealing and high weather resistance. The number in between gives the shaft diameter in millimeters. For example, in SYWK 50 LTHR, the 50 is the nominal diameter. This structure allows you to order the exact replacement without confusion.
Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and process equipment in food, chemical and water treatment plants. In Latin America they are common in oilseed, meatpacking and mining operations, where high-pressure washdown or dust exposure calls for dependable sealing. They also appear in road and agricultural machinery working outdoors.
When selecting a housed unit, confirm the shaft diameter and the mounting type your structure accepts. The LTHR series uses seals that keep grease in and contaminants out. In very humid conditions, inspect the seal lips regularly and refresh lubrication as needed. During installation, align the housing with the shaft and tighten the locking screws evenly, avoiding over-torque that could preload the bearing.
Y-bearing housed units are interchangeable among manufacturers that share the same mounting dimensions and shaft diameters. To replace an existing unit, compare housing height, hole spacing and the insert locking method. Often a housing from another brand with the same dimensional designation will fit without modification, though sealing and lubrication may differ between product lines.
If you have the complete part number, send it via WhatsApp to MR Industrial Accessories LLC and we will quote the part or a suitable equivalent. We can also help identify the series from a photo or from shaft and housing measurements. Our team understands the common applications and will guide you to the right choice.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number in SYWK 50 LTHR indicate?
- The number 50 is the nominal shaft diameter in millimeters. SYWK refers to the Y-bearing housed unit with insert bearing and screw locking, and LTHR indicates a version with enhanced sealing for dusty or humid environments.
- Is this housed unit appropriate for frequent washdowns?
- Yes, the LTHR series is built for exposure to water, dust or cleaning agents. The sealing helps retain lubrication and block contaminants. However, check the seals periodically and renew the grease according to your maintenance schedule.
- Can I replace a housed unit from another brand with this SKF one?
- Usually yes, provided the mounting dimensions match: shaft diameter, housing height, hole spacing and locking system. Interchangeability is common in this category. Send us the measurements or the original part number and we will confirm the equivalence.
