FYH T208 Take-Up Bearing Housing, 40 mm (1 1/2 to 1 9/16 in) Shaft

The FYH T200 is a cast iron take-up (take up bearing) bearing housing in the normal duty range. This page covers 11 housings, T204 to T215, for shafts from 12 to 75 mm (inch shaft sizes 1/2 to 3 in are also covered). Select the housing from the drop-down; each size has its own dimension set in the Model Details.

These take up bearing housings are supplied without an insert bearing. A complete unit such as UCT209 is the T209 housing fitted with a UC209 insert bearing, which is ordered separately (see Related products). This page mixes metric and inch shaft sizes, because the matching inserts come in both bore types: the Shaft Diameter option gives the metric size first and the inch sizes in brackets.

Key specifications

Available sizes

Dimensions in mm. Letters follow the catalogue dimension drawings; the full set of dimensions, with inch values, is in each size's Model Details.

Selecting the right option

Match the housing to the insert bearing and the shaft. The catalogue unit tables pair each housing number with specific insert bearings; for example T209 takes UC209 on a 45 mm shaft.

The page lists metric and inch shaft sizes together. Choose the metric size for a metric shaft; for an inch shaft pick the same housing and order the insert with the matching dash number (for example UC209-26). Every size on this page has an inch bore listed.

T204 covers more than one insert size (T204: 12, 15, 17, 20 mm): the housing is shared across those bores, so confirm the exact insert number when ordering.

The catalogue also lists T210, which is not part of this page.

Not sure which insert or housing suits your shaft? Send us the shaft diameter and mounting details and we will confirm the match.

Fitting and use

The housing is supplied without an insert bearing. Order the insert separately and lock it to the shaft in the way its own type requires: a UC insert locks to the shaft with two set screws; an NC insert locks with a concentric collar; a UK insert is a tapered bore insert that mounts on the shaft with an adapter sleeve.

This is the wide-slot take-up style for a side-mount take-up frame. Check the dimensions in the Model Details against your frame before ordering.
