The SKF YAR series Y-bearing is an insert with an extended inner ring that mounts into split or pillow block housings to create a complete bearing unit for rotating shafts. It suits equipment where assembly simplicity and effective sealing matter. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and offers technical guidance to help you select the right variant for your application.

The designation YAR ...F/VA... breaks down as follows: YAR denotes the family of inserts with an extended inner ring and set screws. The three-digit number corresponds to the shaft diameter—204 for 20 mm, 205 for 25 mm, 206 for 30 mm. The -2F suffix specifies the sealing type, while VA201 or VA228 indicate lubrication and heat treatment variants for particular temperature conditions. In codes with an extra hyphen, such as YAR 205-100-2F/VA201, the middle segment defines a special inch shaft size. Always confirm the complete code before ordering.

These inserts are found in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, and agricultural or food machinery. They are common in food and beverage plants, chemical facilities, and process equipment operating at elevated temperatures or requiring frequent washdowns. When paired with split plummer block housings, they allow alignment and replacement without fully dismantling the shaft, which reduces maintenance downtime.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial, or combined), and environmental conditions. The -2F seal guards against dust and moisture; VA variants handle wide temperature ranges. During installation, ensure the housing is correctly aligned, tighten the set screws on the inner ring, and check radial clearance. Proper lubrication and cleaning the shaft beforehand help prevent premature failures.

Y inserts are interchangeable between manufacturers when the main dimensions, fixing method, and sealing match. There is no universal crossover table because each brand uses its own coding. When seeking a replacement, compare shaft diameter, overall width, outer diameter, and locking system. If you are unsure, send us the exact measurements and the original code; MR Industrial Accessories will help you find a compatible option.

If you already have the bearing code, send it via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories and we will quote the corresponding SKF variant. We can also assist if you are replacing an insert from another brand or need to confirm measurements before purchasing.
