This SKF Y-bearing insert belongs to the YAR series and features an extended inner ring with set screws, allowing it to be installed in split plummer block or pillow block housings. It suits moderate-speed shafts that need alignment and reliable sealing. The 2RF/VE495 version adds double contact seals and a surface treatment for better corrosion resistance, making it a fit for humid areas or washdown-heavy operations.
In the YAR code, the base designation indicates a bearing with an inner ring extended on both sides and two set screws for shaft locking. The 2RF suffix means double nitrile contact seals, which keep grease in and contaminants out. VE495 refers to a special treatment on the outer ring and raceways that provides extra corrosion protection. Part numbers such as YAR 205-2RF/VE495 and YAR 207-2RF/VE495 combine these features for different shaft sizes.
Typical applications include conveyors, belt systems, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural equipment. Food processing plants, cold storage rooms, washdown zones and poultry operations rely on these inserts because of the humidity and cleaning chemicals involved. They are also found in waste treatment machinery and packaging lines that see regular washdowns.
When selecting a Y-bearing, confirm the shaft diameter and the housing style. The 2RF seal is the right choice for dirty or wet conditions; the VE495 treatment adds corrosion resistance when exposure is a concern. For installation, clean the shaft and apply a light coat of lubricant. Use a proper wrench to tighten the set screws, and check that the housing is aligned to prevent excessive axial forces. Under normal conditions, the bearing is lubricated for life and needs no additional maintenance.
SKF Y-bearings can be interchanged with other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. During replacement, compare the shaft diameter, overall width and set screw positions. The YAR designation may differ among manufacturers, but the critical dimensions remain the same. If you are unsure, ask your supplier to confirm that the seal and treatment match your operating environment.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 2RF suffix mean on a Y-bearing?
- 2RF stands for double nitrile contact seals. This sealing arrangement retains grease and blocks dust, water and particles, which helps extend service life in contaminated settings.
- What is the VE495 treatment for?
- VE495 is a surface treatment that enhances the corrosion resistance of the outer ring and raceways. It is suggested for applications exposed to humidity, frequent washdowns or mild chemical agents.
- How do I choose between a standard Y-bearing and one with 2RF sealing?
- If the equipment runs in a clean, dry area, a single seal may be enough. But when dirt, moisture or washdowns are present, pick the 2RF version for better protection. Also consider the VE495 treatment if corrosion is a risk.
