The SKF Y-bearing housing with insert bearing, series TUWK LTA, is a ready-to-mount unit that pairs a housing with a Y-line insert bearing. It supports rotating shafts on fixed structures, handles radial loads, and allows for self-alignment. This makes it a practical choice for light to medium-duty transmissions in industrial and agricultural equipment.
The code TUWK 20 LTA breaks down as follows: TUWK denotes the housing type and its insert design; 20 is the shaft diameter in millimeters; and LTA is a suffix covering sealing, lubrication, or construction details specific to the series. Reading the code correctly helps you order the right replacement and confirm compatibility with existing setups.
Typical applications include conveyors, elevators, mixers, fans, agricultural machinery, and process equipment. The compact design and straightforward mounting suit shafts that need support at the ends or at intermediate points, while self-alignment compensates for minor misalignment.
When selecting a unit, consider shaft diameter, load type, and environmental conditions. The insert seal should keep out dust and moisture; for harsh environments, additional sealing options are available. Proper installation involves cleaning the shaft, lubricating the raceway, and tightening the locking screws to the specified torque. Initial alignment and periodic lubrication help extend service life.
Y-bearing housings with insert bearings from different brands can often be interchanged if the main dimensions, locking method, and sealing match. Always verify tolerances and the insert locking system, as exact dimensions may vary between manufacturers. Our team can help you find a suitable alternative.
