Description
SKF PER.GW208SPP17 is a y-bearing (insert bearing) reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for PER.GW208SPP17 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF Y-bearing of the PER.GW SPP series is an insert bearing with a spherical outer ring and set screw locking. It is used in equipment where the shaft rotates and the split housing or pillow block remains fixed, such as conveyors, fans or belts. Its design allows it to be mounted directly on commercial shafts and to compensate for minor misalignments. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand so you can solve power transmission applications with a standard component and fast replacement.
The designation of this series combines letters that identify the bearing type and its variants. PER indicates a Y-bearing insert with a spherical outer ring. GW indicates the variant with set screw locking on the inner ring. SPP corresponds to an execution with specific sealing and particular tolerances. The number that follows — as in the example PER.GW208SPP17 — defines the bore diameter and the overall size. Knowing these suffixes allows you to order the exact replacement without confusing versions with a different type of locking or sealing.
These bearings are found in material handling equipment, packaging lines, industrial fans and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food plants, meatpacking plants, tanneries and logistics warehouses, where split plummer block housings or cast iron housings seat the bearing and facilitate mounting on long shafts. They also appear in mixers, screens and bucket elevators. The combination of a spherical ring and screw locking simplifies field replacement when the shaft is already mounted and the entire line cannot be disassembled.
To select the right Y-bearing, check the shaft diameter and the type of locking your equipment requires. The PER.GW series uses set screws, which requires a shaft with compatible hardness and tolerance so the screws do not slip. Check the sealing: the SPP variant is designed for environments with moderate dust or moisture. During mounting, align the housing and avoid striking the outer ring. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and check the axial clearance. Poor alignment or excessive tightening of the screws shortens bearing life.
Y-bearings are interchangeable between manufacturers if the main dimensions match: bore diameter, outer diameter, width and type of locking. Series with equivalent suffixes usually share dimensions, but sealing, permissible load or ring material may vary. Do not replace one bearing with another based only on the series number; always compare the dimensions and the type of locking. If in doubt, the complete code engraved on the original bearing is the safest reference for ordering the replacement.
If you need this SKF Y-bearing, send us the complete code by WhatsApp at MR Accesorios Industriales. With that information we verify the exact variant and send you the quote. We can also advise you if the code is worn off or if you need a compatible alternative. We handle technical maintenance and industrial purchasing inquiries throughout the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the GW suffix mean on this Y-bearing?
- The GW suffix indicates that the bearing has set screw locking on the inner ring. This allows it to be mounted on the shaft and secured with screws, without the need for additional adapter sleeves. It is a widely used variant in equipment where the shaft is already installed and fast mounting is desired.
- How do I know if this bearing replaces the one I have mounted?
- Compare the bore diameter, outer diameter, width and type of locking. The complete code engraved on the original bearing gives you the exact reference. If the designation matches the PER.GW SPP series, it is the same type. If in doubt, send us a photo or the code by WhatsApp and we will verify it.
- What lubrication does a Y-bearing of this type need?
- Most of these bearings come lubricated from the factory and require no maintenance until replacement. If your application runs at high temperatures or speeds, consult the data sheet. In assemblies with heavy load or a dirty environment, periodic relubrication may be advisable. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
