The SKF YAR …F/AG is a Y-bearing insert built with an extended inner ring and locked to the shaft by set screws. It fits into split and pillow block housings, which makes it a practical choice for conveyors, fans and agricultural equipment. Small misalignments are absorbed by the design, and routine service stays simple.
Reading the code: YAR points to the insert family with extended inner ring and set screw locking. The digits after it, such as 204 or 205, define the size and correspond to the shaft diameter.
Typical duty covers conveyor belts, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, pumps, and machinery in the food, textile, wood and agricultural sectors. Dust, humidity and moderate operating temperatures are common in these settings, so a bearing unit that runs reliably with limited maintenance is what matters.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, the load case (radial, axial or combined) and the surrounding conditions. The -2F seal keeps contaminants out and grease in. Confirm the housing accepts the YAR series. At installation, align the unit and tighten the set screws to the recommended torque. Whether lubrication lasts for life or needs a schedule depends on the application and the speed.
On equivalences: SKF YAR inserts interchange with Y-bearings from other manufacturers that share the same dimensional standard. Measure shaft and housing before any replacement. Split and pillow block housings built to standard dimensions accept the YAR series. Send us the exact code if anything is unclear and we will help you sort it out.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the -2F suffix mean on a YAR bearing?
- It identifies a double labyrinth seal. This configuration blocks contaminants from entering and helps hold the grease inside, which suits dusty or damp environments.
- How is a YAR insert mounted in a housing?
- The insert goes into the housing and is secured to the shaft with set screws. Correct alignment matters, and the screws should be tightened to the recommended torque so the insert does not slip.
- Can I replace an SKF YAR bearing with another brand?
- Yes, provided the dimensions and locking method match. YAR inserts follow dimensional standards that allow interchange between brands. Verify shaft and housing dimensions first.
