The SKF YAR RFG/VL Y-bearing is an insert bearing with an extended inner ring and set screw locking, made to fit into split or pillow block housings. Its double-lip seal and lubrication groove help protect the lubricant and keep the bearing secure on the shaft without extra machining.
The series code breaks down into three parts: YAR means a Y-bearing with extended inner ring and set screws; RFG denotes a double-lip seal with added protection; VL indicates a lubrication groove in the outer ring. The number that follows, as in YAR 206-102-2RFG/VL208, sets the shaft diameter and sealing variant. Reading these elements correctly lets you order the right replacement the first time.
These bearings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural machinery, where the shaft turns and the housing stays fixed to the frame. They are common in food processing, cement and material handling operations. The sealed design suits dusty or moderately humid conditions when alignment is correct and lubrication is maintained.
For selection, confirm the shaft diameter and housing type. The double-lip seal blocks contaminants, while the lubrication groove allows relubrication without disassembly. During mounting, tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the proper wrench and verify that the inner ring seats fully. Proper lubrication and careful alignment contribute to bearing service life.
When replacing a Y-bearing from another brand, interchangeability depends on main dimensions and locking type. Matching shaft diameter alone is not enough: compare overall width, screw position and sealing. In general, Y-bearings with the same basic designation are interchangeable across brands, but it is wise to confirm each case with the technical data sheet.

Frequently asked questions
- What does YAR indicate in a Y-bearing?
- YAR identifies a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and set screw locking. It is a common designation for insert bearings mounted in split or pillow block housings. Knowing it helps you order the correct replacement.
- How do I choose between a sealed Y-bearing and one with a lubrication groove?
- If the equipment operates in dusty or humid conditions, prioritize the double-lip seal. If you need to relubricate often without disassembly, the lubrication groove is useful. The choice depends on your application conditions.
- Are Y-bearings from different brands interchangeable?
- In general, yes, if the main dimensions and locking type match. Shaft diameter alone is not enough: check overall width, screw position and sealing. Contact us with the part number and we will guide you.
