The SKF Y-bearing insert unit is an assembled unit that combines a bearing housing with a Y-series insert bearing. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where quick mounting, simple alignment and good radial load capacity are required. It is common in agricultural machinery, conveyors, fans and process lines. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as a brand, with technical advice to choose the right variant according to the shaft and the locking type.
The designation PER.UK…-B is read in parts: PER identifies the split plummer block housing, UK corresponds to the insert bearing with tapered adapter locking system, and the number that follows — as in PER.UK208-B — indicates the size of the assembly. The suffix -B indicates a construction variant of the housing, generally linked to the sealing type or the shape of the housing. To confirm the exact equivalent of your code, it is advisable to check the number against the manufacturer's table.
In Argentine industry, these units appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, centrifugal fans and milling equipment. They are also found in agricultural machines, such as seeders and combine harvesters, where quick mounting and tolerance to minor misalignments are key. Being assembled units, they simplify maintenance: the complete assembly is replaced without reconditioning the housing.
To select correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the locking type — the tapered adapter allows mounting on commercial shafts without additional machining — and the sealing required according to the environment. In applications with dust, water or frequent washing, additional protection is advisable. Lubrication must be the one specified for insert bearings and mounting must ensure that the housing sits flat and aligned with the shaft.
Y-bearing insert units are available from different brands under equivalent nomenclatures. Interchangeability depends on the housing dimensions, the shaft diameter and the locking system. Not all series are interchangeable with each other: always verify the critical dimensions before replacing one unit with another. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you if you send us the original code and a photo of the assembly.
