The SKF PER.GW Y-bearing is an insert with an extended inner ring, sealed and with a set screw locking system. It is used in split plummer block housings and take-up frames for rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. Its design allows it to be mounted on unmachined shafts and to withstand radial loads with moderate misalignment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand for industrial applications in Argentina.
The PER.GW designation is read in blocks: PER indicates the insert series with an extended inner ring and screw locking; GW defines the type of sealing, with a rubber lip that protects against dust and moisture. The suffix HYYB groups construction features, such as the sheet metal cage and the surface treatment of the outer ring. The number that follows, as in PER.GW5209HYYB2, identifies the insert size and its shaft diameter. The last digit, in this case 2, indicates sealing or internal clearance variants. To choose the correct code, always verify the shaft diameter and the type of housing where it is mounted.
These inserts are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and processing equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed and meatpacking industries and in waste treatment plants. They also appear in road machinery and material handling equipment. Their ability to self-align and to work with flexed shafts makes them suitable for environments with vibration and constant radial load.
To select a Y-bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial load and the environmental conditions. The GW sealing is suitable for environments with moderate dust and moisture; if there are frequent washdowns, consider seals with greater protection. During mounting, verify that the set screws are properly tightened on the shaft and that the housing is aligned. Factory lubrication is usually sufficient for the service life, but in severe applications it may require relubrication. Avoid striking the insert during mounting so as not to damage the seals.
Y-bearings are interchangeable between brands if the outer diameter, width and locking system dimensions match. Brands such as SKF, FAG, NSK or NTN offer equivalent lines, but the suffixes may vary. It is not enough for the code to be similar: the geometry and the type of sealing must be compared. If in doubt, send us the shaft and housing dimensions and we will help you find the right equivalent.
At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry SKF Y-bearings as an official brand. If you need to replace an insert, send us the complete code by WhatsApp, such as PER.GW5209HYYB2, and we will quote you. We can also advise you if the original code is worn or if you need a compatible alternative. Write to us and we will reply shortly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the correct SKF PER.GW Y-bearing?
- You need the shaft diameter and the type of housing. The code includes the size and sealing variants. If you do not have the code, measure the shaft with a caliper and contact us by WhatsApp.
- What does the GW suffix mean in the designation?
- GW indicates a type of sealing with a rubber lip, which protects against dust and moisture. It is suitable for moderately contaminated industrial environments. For more severe conditions, ask us about other options.
- Are SKF Y-bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, if the main dimensions and the locking system match. Brands such as FAG, NSK or NTN have equivalent lines, but the suffixes change. Always verify the dimensions before replacing.
