SY60TF SKF 2 Bolt Plummer Block Y Bearing with Grub Screws 60mm

The SKF SY60TF is a heavy-duty pillow block ball bearing unit designed to provide reliable shaft support in demanding industrial, agricultural, quarrying, processing, and material handling applications. Supplied as a complete ready-to-install assembly, the unit combines the SKF YAR 212-2F insert bearing with the robust SY 512 M cast iron housing, delivering outstanding load carrying capacity, effective sealing protection, and long-term operational reliability.

Designed for 60mm shaft diameters, the SY60TF features an extended inner ring with dual set screw locking, providing secure shaft retention even in applications exposed to vibration, shock loads, and fluctuating operating conditions. Suitable for both continuous and reversing shaft rotation, this bearing unit offers a dependable and versatile mounting solution for a wide range of industrial machinery.

The bearing insert is factory lubricated and protected by contact seals and steel flingers on both sides, helping to retain lubricant while preventing the ingress of dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants. A relubrication facility with grease nipple is supplied as standard, allowing routine maintenance and helping maximise bearing service life while reducing downtime.

Manufactured from premium bearing steel and housed within a rugged cast iron pillow block housing, the SY60TF incorporates SKF's proven self-aligning design, enabling the unit to compensate for minor shaft misalignment and mounting inaccuracies while maintaining smooth and efficient operation under demanding working conditions.
