The SKF YAR ...F series is a Y-bearing insert with an extended inner ring and two set screws. It mounts on a shaft and fits into split or flanged housings, providing a straightforward, robust, and replaceable bearing unit for equipment exposed to dust and moisture. The 2F seal helps keep grease in and contaminants out, while the set screws secure the insert to the shaft without extra machining.

The code YAR indicates a Y-bearing with an inner ring extended on both sides and two set screws. The number after YAR gives the size: for example, YAR 204-2F. The suffix -2F denotes the seal type: a single lip seal that retains grease and blocks contaminants. When the code includes a hyphen and three digits, such as YAR 203-008-2F, the numeric suffix defines an inch shaft size (008 = 1/2"). A slash suffix, as in YAR 203/12-2F, indicates a metric bore (12 mm).

These inserts are found in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, and agricultural machinery. They also appear in packaging lines and material handling equipment. The combination of set screws and sealing suits shafts running at moderate speeds where maintenance is simple and dust, moisture, and moderate loads are present.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the housing type. The 2F seal works well in dusty or splash-prone areas; for frequent washdowns, consider more tightly sealed alternatives. During mounting, clean the shaft, slide the insert on, and tighten the set screws with a torque wrench to the recommended torque. Verify housing alignment and lubricate with lithium or compatible grease. Misalignment accelerates seal wear and shortens service life.

SKF Y-bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same dimensional designation. When replacing, compare bore diameter, overall width, and set screw position. The series covers common sizes; for inch shafts, the numeric suffixes help identify equivalents. If in doubt, the complete code engraved on the bearing is the safest reference for ordering a replacement.
