The SKF YEL 2RF/VL series covers Y-bearing inserts that combine an extended inner ring with a screw locking collar. They are made to sit in split plummer block housings or take-up units, where the insert grips the shaft and keeps rotating with little attention. Two contact seals, one per side, block dust and moisture from reaching the rolling elements.
Reading the code helps you order with confidence. YEL marks a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and screw locking. The 2RF block tells you the insert carries double contact seals. VL refers to the locking collar and its set screws. The numeric part that follows, as in YEL 205-2RF/VL065, YEL 206-2RF/VL065, YEL 207-2RF/VL065 and YEL 208-2RF/VL065, sets the shaft diameter. Together these elements allow simple, firm mounting on shafts that have not been machined.
These inserts show up in conveyors, mixers, mills, packaging belts and farm machinery, and also in industrial fans, centrifugal pumps and food-processing equipment where cleanliness and resistance to corrosion matter. Because the housing can be aligned and the insert tolerates small misalignments, wear and unexpected stoppages tend to drop.
Choosing the correct insert starts with the shaft diameter, then the load type, whether radial, axial or combined, and finally the working environment. The 2RF seal handles dust and splashes; for immersion or frequent washdowns, look at extra sealing options. At mounting, keep the shaft clean and free of burrs, and tighten the set screws with a torque wrench to the recommended value. Factory grease normally lasts the full service life, though harsh duties may call for relubrication.
SKF Y-bearings share standardized dimensions with other brands, so they can often be swapped. When chasing a replacement, confirm the shaft diameter, overall width and locking method. We can point you to a suitable equivalent that fits your existing housing without modification, and it is wise to check with a specialist before changing brand or series.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 2RF suffix mean in the YEL 2RF/VL part number?
- The 2RF suffix indicates that the bearing has double contact seals, one on each side. This protects against the entry of dust, dirt and moisture, extending service life in contaminated environments. It is a key feature for demanding industrial applications.
- How do I choose the right Y-bearing for my shaft?
- You need the shaft diameter and the load type. The number in the part number gives the diameter; for instance, YEL 205-2RF/VL065 fits a 25 mm shaft. Send us the measurement and we will advise.
- Is this bearing compatible with housings from other brands?
- SKF Y-bearings follow standardized dimensions, so they are usually interchangeable with other brands. Still, check the shaft diameter, width and locking system before replacing. If in doubt, send us the dimensions and we will help.
