The SKF YEL RF is a Y-bearing insert built with a spherical outer ring and set screw locking, made to sit inside split plummer block or flanged housings. It fits equipment with turning shafts where small alignment errors are normal and quick assembly matters. The RF seal arrangement suits areas with a moderate amount of dust or humidity. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line for industrial users.
Reading the code helps you order the right insert. YEL identifies a medium-section Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and set screws. The 2RF suffix tells you there is contact sealing on both faces, which keeps contaminants out and holds grease in. A full reference such as YEL 209-2RF packs the series, the shaft size and the seal style into one string, so a quick look at the marking on the old part usually gives you everything needed for a replacement.
Typical installations include conveyors, fans, mixers, packaging belts and other transmission drives in food, textile, chemical and materials handling plants. Because the insert drops into a split housing, service work is simpler and shutdown time is shorter. Sealing on both sides is a practical choice where washdown, humidity or airborne dust are part of daily operation.
When choosing, start from the shaft diameter and the nature of the load. Contact seals work well in dusty conditions; if free liquid is present, plan on extra sealing. At installation, line up the shaft properly and torque the set screws to the shaft as specified. Grease comes from the factory, and relubrication intervals can be extended unless the application is severe.
Other makers build Y-bearings with comparable dimensions, but suffix meanings and seal designs differ. Before substituting, check the principal dimensions and the locking method. Send the code you have and the MR team will confirm the match or propose an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does 2RF indicate on a Y-bearing?
- It means the bearing carries contact seals on both sides. That arrangement blocks dust and moisture and keeps lubricant inside, which is useful in less than clean industrial settings.
- How does a YEL insert go into a split plummer block housing?
- The insert sits in the lower half of the housing, the shaft is positioned, and the set screws are tightened against the shaft. The housing is then closed and fastened. Correct shaft alignment and the specified screw torque keep the insert from slipping.
- Can this bearing run at high temperatures?
- The standard YEL RF works in a moderate temperature range. Variants with different greases and seal materials cover hotter duties. Tell us your operating temperature and we will point you to the right option.
