This SKF insert is a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and set screws, made to sit on a shaft and inside a split or pillow block housing. The YHB series handles radial loads and allows for some misalignment while keeping the insert firmly locked. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the right variant to your equipment and operating conditions.

The code breaks down into meaningful blocks. The initial Y tells you it is a Y-bearing; HB marks the execution series; the suffixes that follow describe sealing and other design details. Take YHB 205-014-2LS8W: 205-014 sets the shaft diameter and locking style, 2LS8 means double LS-type sealing, and W points to an additional design feature. Reading these suffixes correctly prevents mix-ups when you are replacing an insert already in service.

You will find these inserts in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens and process equipment across food, chemical and aggregate plants. They suit moderate shaft speeds and environments with dust or moisture. The seal and set screw locking let them run on unmachined shafts and keep working through continuous operation with maintenance at intervals.

Selection starts with shaft diameter, load type and ambient conditions. The LS seal keeps out dust and splashes, but for pressure washing or immersion you should consider a variant with heavier sealing. At mounting, make sure the shaft is clean and free of burrs, tighten the set screws with the correct wrench, and check housing alignment. Proper lubrication and correct internal clearance help the insert reach its expected service life and avoid early failures.

Interchangeability between brands is not automatic. Y-bearings often share main dimensions, yet sealing, locking and tolerance suffixes differ from one maker to another. Matching the shaft diameter alone is not enough: verify total width, set screw position and seal type. When in doubt, compare the full designation and check with the supplier before replacing, so you do not compromise the equipment's operation.
