Description

SKF PER.GW208SPPB5 is a y-bearing (insert bearing) reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for PER.GW208SPPB5 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 SP series is an insert with spherical outer ring, designed to be mounted in split or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where alignment is not perfect and misalignments need to be compensated. Its design includes sealing and a shaft locking system that makes it practical for maintenance. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line so you have a reliable option for your applications.

The designation of this series combines letters that indicate the insert type and its characteristics. PER identifies the category of Y-bearings with spherical outer ring. GW indicates the seal type, and SP refers to set screw locking on the inner ring. The numbers appearing in the examples, as in PER.GW208SPPB5 or PER.GW208SPPB8, are linked to the shaft diameter and insert size. The final suffixes, such as B5 or B8, distinguish variants within the same series, generally associated with construction or sealing details.

These bearings are found in transmission and transport equipment in industrial, food, textile and aggregate processing plants. They are seen in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural machinery. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed, meat and balanced feed industries, where the environment usually has dust or moisture. Their ability to oscillate slightly allows absorbing small alignment errors between shaft and housing, which simplifies mounting and reduces premature wear.

To choose well, take into account the shaft diameter, load type and environmental conditions. The GW seal offers protection against dust and splashes, but if there is direct contact with water or chemical agents, it is advisable to evaluate a variant with greater sealing. Set screw locking requires the shaft to have adequate hardness and diameter; a soft or worn shaft can loosen the insert. When mounting, check that the housing is clean and that the bearing seats correctly. Factory lubrication is usually sufficient for most applications, but in severe environments it may require periodic relubrication.

Regarding equivalents, Y-bearings are interchangeable between brands if the main dimensions match: bore diameter, outer diameter and width. However, the locking system and seal type may vary, so do not rely only on the code. Always compare dimensions and service conditions. If you need to replace a Y-bearing from another brand, the safest is to send us the dimensions or the complete code. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the equivalent option within the brands we supply.

If you already have the code of the Y-bearing you need, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data we can identify the exact variant and provide the quote. If you do not have it at hand, send us the shaft and housing dimensions, and a photo of the assembly. That way we help you select the right insert so your equipment keeps running without setbacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the acronym PER.GW mean in this Y-bearing?
PER indicates it is a Y-bearing with spherical outer ring. GW refers to the seal type that protects against dust and splashes. The following numbers relate to the shaft diameter and insert size. Suffixes such as B5 or B8 distinguish variants within the same series.
How do I know if this bearing replaces the one I have mounted?
Compare the main dimensions: bore diameter, outer diameter and width. Also check the shaft locking type and sealing. Although the code may differ between brands, if the dimensions match and service conditions are similar, it can be a valid replacement. If in doubt, consult us with the equipment data.
Does this type of bearing need maintenance?
Most come factory-lubricated and do not require relubrication under normal conditions. In environments with a lot of dust, moisture or high temperatures, it may be advisable to check the seal condition and relubricate according to the plant maintenance plan. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
