The SKF Y-bearing of the YET CW series is an insert with extended inner ring and set screw locking, designed to be mounted in split plummer block or flanged housings. It is used in equipment with rotating shafts where a simple, robust and easy-to-mount bearing unit is required. Its design compensates for small misalignments and supports combined loads in general industrial applications.
The designation YET … CW is read as follows: YET identifies the SKF insert series with extended inner ring and set screws; the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter in inches or millimeters depending on the suffix. For example, YET 205-100 CW corresponds to a 1 inch shaft, while YET 208 CW is for a 40 mm shaft. The suffix CW indicates a stamped steel cage and a specific insert design. Part numbers with a hyphen and three digits (such as YET 206-102 CW) indicate inch dimensions, and those with only two digits (such as YET 210-115 CW) can combine metric diameter with other variants. Always check the complete part number to ensure the correct size.
These inserts are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina: food, textile, material handling, agricultural and machine tools. They are common in conveyors, fans, mixers, pumps and transmission equipment. Their ability to support moderate radial and axial loads makes them suitable for continuously rotating shafts. As part of the Y-bearing category, they are mounted in housings that allow initial alignment and facilitate maintenance. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line for replacement and new projects.
To select the correct insert, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load and the environmental conditions. The YET CW series incorporates a contact seal to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants. The internal clearance is standard and does not require additional adjustment. During mounting, make sure the shaft is clean and free of burrs, and tighten the set screws with the appropriate wrench. Alignment between housings is key to avoid parasitic loads. If the equipment operates with vibrations, consider additional fastening.
Regarding equivalences, SKF inserts of the YET CW series can be interchanged with Y-bearings from other brands that share dimensions and locking type. However, not all suffixes match: always check the outside diameter, width and sealing system dimensions. Interchangeability between brands is possible if tolerances and housing design are respected. For replacements, it is advisable to compare technical specifications and consult a specialist. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on the right equivalence.
