Y-bearings in the SKF YEL series are insert units with an extended inner ring and set screw locking, made to fit into split or pillow block housings. They suit equipment that needs a self-aligning bearing that is simple to install and offers solid protection from contaminants. This version comes with a 2DW seal and an AG groove in the outer ring, allowing grease to be added through the housing. Belt drives, conveyors and farm machinery are typical places you will find them.

In the code YEL, the letters denote a Y-bearing with an inner ring that extends on both sides. The number that follows, such as 205 or 206, tells you the size: a larger number means a bigger bore and outer dimensions. The -2DW suffix marks a low-friction double seal that keeps grease in and keeps dust and water out. The /AG ending points to a groove in the outer ring for adding lubricant. In examples like YEL 205-2DW/AG and YEL 207-104-2DW/AG, the extra number (for instance -014 or -104) identifies different bore diameters within the same nominal size.

These inserts go into split, pillow block or flanged housings and are widely used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens and process equipment. In agriculture you will see them in seeders, harvesters and fans; in food processing, in washing and packaging lines. Their self-aligning design compensates for minor mounting errors or shaft deflection, which makes maintenance easier in plants where shafts are not perfectly rigid.

When selecting, check the shaft diameter and the housing type. The 2DW seal works well with moderate dust or moisture; for harsher conditions, consider additional seals or protectors. The AG groove simplifies relubrication without disassembly, but the housing must have the matching channel. During installation, tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the correct wrench and make sure the inner ring is centered. Proper alignment and regular lubrication help extend bearing life.

Y-bearings from different manufacturers can be interchanged if the key dimensions match: bore diameter, outer diameter, width and fixing method. The SKF YEL series is often equivalent to inserts from other brands with designations like YAR, GY or UC, but do not rely on the code alone—always compare dimensions and sealing system. At MR Industrial Accessories we can help you find the right equivalent from measurements or the original part number.
