The SKF YAR FW/VT is an insert bearing that features an inner ring extended on both sides and set screw locking. It suits equipment with moderate shaft speeds where mounting is straightforward and protection against dust and moisture matters. Typical uses include conveyors, agricultural implements, and general industrial machinery. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this bearing and can help you confirm the right variant for your equipment.

The part number breaks down into meaningful segments. YAR denotes the series: Y-bearings with an extended inner ring and set screw locking. FW specifies the seal design, a low-friction seal that guards against contaminants. VT signals a design variant, often related to the cage or heat treatment. A complete code such as YAR 212-207-2FW/VT307B combines the size, shaft diameter, and construction details. Use the series table to decode each suffix accurately.

You will find these bearings in conveying and processing equipment: belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, dryers, and food and beverage machinery. They also appear in agricultural implements like seeders and harvesters, as well as industrial fans. In grain plants, meat processing, and dairy facilities, frequent washdowns demand effective sealing. The extended inner ring simplifies mounting on solid shafts and permits a degree of misalignment when the bearing sits in a split plummer block housing.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and the operating environment. The FW seal handles dust and moderate humidity; for pressure washing, consider variants with greater protection. Set screw locking calls for a shaft with suitable hardness and finish, and the screws must be tightened with a torque wrench to the recommended torque. Factory lubrication usually lasts for the service life, but severe applications may require relubrication. Verify housing alignment to avoid extra loads.

When it comes to equivalents, set screw locking Y-bearings from different brands share standardized dimensions, yet suffixes can differ. An SKF YAR bearing may be replaced by another manufacturer's product, but check the seal type, internal clearance, and locking method. Not all suffixes interchange: an FW seal, for example, is not the same as a 2RS. Always confirm with the complete part number and critical dimensions before substituting.
