The SKF PER.SN Y-bearing is an insert with a spherical outer ring and set screw locking system, designed to be mounted in split plummer block or flanged housings. It is used in equipment where alignment is not perfect and loads are moderate, such as agricultural machinery, conveyors and process lines. Its sealed construction protects it from dust and moisture, extending service life in demanding environments. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its bearing catalog for Argentine industry.
The PER.SN designation identifies an SKF Y-bearing with a spherical outer ring and set screw locking on the inner ring. The SN suffix indicates that the insert comes with a specific seal for applications with moderate exposure to contaminants. The example PER.SN-1816 shows the typical structure: the letters define the series and the final number the size. To choose the correct replacement, take into account the shaft diameter and the type of housing where it will be seated.
These bearings are used in seeders, harvesters, grain conveyors, belt conveyors and process equipment in food and beverage plants. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed, meatpacking and aggregate processing industries. Their ability to compensate for misalignment makes them ideal for long shafts or structures where rigidity is not total. They also appear in industrial fans and mixers.
To select the right Y-bearing, verify that the shaft diameter matches the bore of the insert and that the housing is compatible with the spherical outer ring. The SN seal protects against dust and splashes, but does not submerge the bearing in liquids. During mounting, tighten the set screws with a torque wrench according to the manufacturer's recommended torque and verify that the shaft has no burrs. Proper lubrication and correct alignment extend service life.
SKF Y-bearings are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When looking for a replacement, compare the shaft diameter, overall width and locking type. Not all inserts with the same outside diameter are equivalent: the sealing system and locking may vary. If you have doubts, consult us with the original part number and we will advise you with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SN suffix mean on this bearing?
- The SN suffix indicates a reinforced seal type for environments with moderate dust or moisture. It is not a hermetic seal for immersion, but it offers good protection in agricultural and industrial applications. Consult us if you need a more demanding seal.
- Is this bearing compatible with housings from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the housing has the same seating dimensions and the bearing shares the shaft diameter and width. Interchangeability depends on the dimensional standard, not the brand. Always verify the measurements before replacing.
- How should I mount a Y-bearing with set screw locking?
- Clean the shaft and verify that it has no burrs. Place the insert in the housing, align and tighten the set screws to the recommended torque. Poor alignment or excessive tightening can damage the bearing prematurely.
