When you're selecting a 2-bolt mounted bearing for your bearings, couplings, and power transmission setup, the practical questions are straightforward: what shaft size do you need, where will the unit be installed, and what should it cost? The two units here take different paths. The FYH UCFL20516EG5NP is a fully specified flange unit at a low price, while the Timken QAF07046SM carries a larger price tag and a more general industrial description. Both are 2-bolt mounted units, but they serve different purchasing situations, so the right answer depends on your shaft size, operating environment, and budget.
Quick Verdict
The FYH is the value pick. At USD 23.99, it gives you a 1-inch bore, a ball insert, and a nickel-plated cast-iron housing in a 2-bolt flange package. The Timken QAF07046SM is a new unit at USD 150.00. If you need a corrosion-resistant 1-inch flange bearing, the FYH is the clear choice. If your equipment spec explicitly calls for the Timken, that's the one to get.
Price at a Glance
| Product | Price | Relative Price |
|---|---|---|
| FYH UCFL20516EG5NP | USD 23.99 | |
| Timken QAF07046SM | USD 150.00 |
Where the FYH Wins
The FYH unit earns its place with a nickel-plated cast-iron housing and a 2-bolt flange layout. The product description says it's built for washdown resistance, which makes it a natural fit for food processing, packaging, conveyors, and agricultural equipment. You also get a clear spec sheet, and the price leaves a lot of room in your budget.
Where the Timken Wins
The Timken QAF07046SM is the right call when the model number is part of your replacement or design spec. It's a 2-bolt unit from Timken, and the description points to mechanical power transmission and industrial automation. If you need a 2-bolt bearing in this specific configuration, this is the one to buy.
Product Notes
NEW FYH UCFL20516EG5NP 1" Bore Nickel Plated 2-Bolt Flange Bearing Unit
The FYH unit pairs a 1-inch bore ball insert with a cast-iron housing in a 2-bolt flange configuration. That makes it a direct fit for machinery where a 1-inch shaft needs reliable support. It's new but open box in condition, so the packaging may have been opened while the bearing itself is new. For a conveyor, packaging line, or agricultural application, this is an inexpensive and fully specified option. The open-box condition is the limitation to weigh, particularly if you need sealed packaging for inventory or resale.
Timken 2 Bolt Bearing QAF07046SM
The Timken QAF07046SM is a new, complete unit sold under model number QAF07046SM. The description positions it for mechanical power transmission and industrial automation, which makes it a suitable choice for operations that need a specific Timken part for new builds or replacements. The condition is new, which is what most maintenance departments want. The limitation is the price: it's a significant step up from the FYH, so it only makes sense if your equipment calls for this exact model. For open-ended shopping, the cost is hard to justify.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the FYH UCFL20516EG5NP when you need a 1-inch bore, washdown-friendly flange bearing and want to keep costs down. Choose the Timken QAF07046SM when your machine spec names that model, and the price gap of USD 126.01 is acceptable.
