The SKF YET … WU series Y-bearing is an insert with set screws for mounting in split plummer block or pillow block housings. It is used in equipment where the shaft rotates at moderate speeds and a sealed, self-aligning unit is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with more than 80 years of experience in power transmission.

The designation YET … WU reads as follows: YET identifies a Y-bearing with set screws on the inner ring, the number that follows — for example, YET 206-102 WU or YET 208-108 WU — indicates the insert size, and the suffix WU indicates a sealing and design variant. In the examples, the first numeric block (206, 208) is associated with the insert outer diameter, while the second (102, 108) encodes the shaft bore diameter. To confirm the exact size for your equipment, it is always advisable to verify the complete part number on the housing or on the original part.

These inserts are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural or process machinery. In Argentina they are common in food plants, cement plants, tanneries and maintenance workshops that replace worn units. Their set screw design allows quick mounting on solid shafts, and the integrated sealing retains lubricant and blocks dust, ideal for environments with moderate dirt. Because they are self-aligning within the housing, they tolerate small misalignments typical of welded structures or field installations.

To select the correct insert, verify the shaft diameter and the type of housing where it will be housed. Set screw mounting requires the shaft to be clean, free of burrs and with the appropriate hardness; tighten the screws alternately and with a torque wrench according to specification. Factory lubrication is usually sufficient for the service life, but in humid environments or with frequent washdowns it is advisable to check the sealing and relubricate if the design allows it. Housing alignment and a moderate radial load ensure stable performance.

As for equivalents, Y-bearings with set screws from different brands share standardized dimensions, but internal suffixes change depending on the manufacturer. Not all seals or clearances are identical, so direct interchangeability can affect service life if the design is not compared. For replacements, the safest approach is to start from the original part number and compare the main dimensions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies SKF as an official brand and can guide you if you have doubts between one variant and another.

If you need to replace a Y-bearing, send us the complete part number — for example, YET 206-102 WU — via WhatsApp. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you identify the correct size and variant so your equipment keeps running without surprises.
