Description
SKF PER.W211SPP3 is a y-bearing (insert bearing) reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for PER.W211SPP3 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF Y-bearing of the PER.W SPP series is an insert with a spherical outer ring, designed to be mounted in split plummer block or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where the shaft rotates at moderate speeds and a easily replaceable unit is convenient. Its design allows it to be housed in standard housings and locked to the shaft with set screws, which simplifies assembly and maintenance in the plant.
The designation of this series combines letters and numbers that identify the insert type and its variants. In the examples PER.W208SPP5, PER.W208SPP8 and PER.W211SPP3, the initial block PER.W indicates the category of Y-bearing with spherical outer ring. The following digits, such as 208 or 211, indicate the insert size within the series. The suffix SPP refers to the sealing and locking configuration, and the final number, such as 5, 8 or 3, distinguishes sealing or screw variants. To choose, use the complete part number and not isolated parts.
These inserts are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans and process equipment. In the food, chemical and bulk material industries, where washing and dust are common, a Y-bearing with good sealing helps support the shaft without contaminating the lubricant. They also appear in agricultural machinery and packaging lines, always mounted on housings that absorb slight misalignments.
To select the insert, verify that the shaft diameter and the housing bore match the part number. Check the sealing type: the SPP suffixes indicate configurations designed to retain grease and exclude dust or liquids. Locking to the shaft is done with set screws; tighten them with the appropriate wrench and verify that the shaft is clean and free of burrs. Factory lubrication is usually sufficient, but in humid or high-temperature environments a relubrication plan should be considered.
Regarding equivalences, Y-bearings are interchangeable between brands if the main dimensions, locking type and sealing match. It is not enough for the size number to be the same: the outer ring, the screw thread and the sealing geometry must be compared. If you have the original part number, the safest option is to request the replacement by that reference. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF and can guide you if the part number has changed.
Before mounting, align the housing and the shaft to avoid lateral loads. Strike the insert only on the inner ring, never on the outer ring or the seal. If the equipment operates with vibration, check the screw tightening after the first hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the SPP suffix mean on this Y-bearing?
- The SPP suffix identifies the sealing and locking configuration of the insert. In the PER.W SPP series, the final numbers distinguish sealing or screw variants. To choose the correct replacement, send us the complete part number and we will indicate the equivalent option.
- How is this bearing locked to the shaft?
- Locking is done with set screws on the inner ring. The shaft must be clean, free of burrs and with the correct diameter. Tighten the screws with the appropriate wrench and check the tightening after the first hours of operation.
- Can it be interchanged with another brand?
- Yes, if the main dimensions, locking type and sealing match. It is not enough for the size number to be the same: the outer ring and the sealing geometry must be compared. Send us the original part number and we will help you find the equivalent.
