The SKF Y-bearing with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a bearing housing with an insert ball bearing, ready to mount on shafts and structures. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in equipment where simple installation and self-alignment are required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice to select the right configuration for your application.
The designation PER.FHG identifies a flanged Y-bearing with insert bearing. The numbers that follow indicate the size: in PER.FHG206-18-B, the 206 corresponds to the nominal diameter of the insert bearing and the 18 to the shaft diameter in sixteenths of an inch. The suffix -B indicates a construction variant, usually related to sealing or locking. For PER.FHG208-24-B, the logic is the same: 208 for the insert and 24 for the shaft. Understanding this logic lets you order the correct part number without ambiguity.
These bearing housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and process lines in food, chemical and materials plants. In Argentina they are common in milling equipment, feed plants and grain handling systems, where ease of mounting and tolerance to slight misalignment simplify maintenance. They are also found in agricultural machinery and implements operating in dusty and humid environments.
To select the bearing housing, check the shaft diameter and the required locking type. The insert bearing usually comes with set screws or a taper bushing; choose according to the load and ease of disassembly. Sealing is key: in dusty or wet environments, choose contact seals that keep contamination out. During mounting, make sure the flange sits flat and the shaft is aligned with the housing to avoid parasitic loads. Initial lubrication comes from the factory, but it is advisable to plan relubrication if the equipment operates under severe conditions.
As for equivalents, Y-bearings with insert bearing from different brands can be interchanged if the main dimensions match: shaft diameter, distance between flange holes and center height. However, suffixes and sealing variants are not always equivalent between manufacturers. Therefore, when requesting a quote, it is best to provide the full part number and, if possible, the critical dimensions. MR Accesorios Industriales can guide you to find the option compatible with your equipment.
If you need to replace a Y-bearing with insert bearing, send the part number stamped on the part or the full designation via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data, the technical team identifies the variant and sends you the quote without hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which Y-bearing with insert bearing I need?
- You need the shaft diameter and the part number of the old bearing housing. If you don't have it, measure the shaft with a caliper and the distance between the flange holes. With that data we can advise you on choosing the correct variant.
- What does the -B suffix mean in the designation?
- The -B suffix indicates a construction variant within the series, generally linked to the type of sealing or the insert locking system. It does not change the main dimensions, but it does affect performance in contaminated environments.
- Can it be replaced with another brand?
- Yes, if the critical dimensions match: shaft diameter, distance between holes and center height. Sealing variants may differ, so it is best to verify the full part number before replacing.
