The SKF YEL FW series is a Y-bearing insert with an extended inner ring and set screw locking, made to seat in split or pillow block housings. It suits equipment where alignment is less than perfect and some misalignment needs to be absorbed. The FW seal provides protection against dust and moisture, so the insert is common in transport, agricultural and industrial plant environments.

Reading the code helps you match the right insert. In YEL 205-100-2FW, YEL 206-103-2FW and YEL 206-104-2FW, YEL denotes the Y-bearing with extended inner ring and set screw locking, while FW identifies the seal. The first number (205 or 206) is the insert size, the middle block (100, 103, 104) is the shaft diameter, and the 2FW suffix confirms the seal. Compare the full part number with the marking on the existing unit before ordering.

Typical applications include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, mixers and process equipment, as well as road machinery, seeders and material handling systems. The extended inner ring and set screw locking allow mounting on shafts without a shoulder and removal with basic tools, which is practical for field maintenance.

Selection depends on the shaft diameter and the housing seat. The FW seal guards against dust and splashes but does not replace proper lubrication: use a medium-consistency grease and renew it according to the working environment. During mounting, tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the correct wrench and confirm that the outer ring sits aligned in the housing. Excessive axial play or poor alignment will shorten bearing life.

Y-bearings come in several brands and equivalent series, and interchangeability is not automatic. Even when part numbers look similar, the seal type, tolerance or locking method can differ. Always compare the main dimensions and locking style before substituting. MR supplies SKF as one of the brands in its range and can help you verify the match.
