Product Description
INSERT BEARINGS (Y-BEARINGS)
Insert bearings Y bearings are frequently used on conveyer and handling systems, agricultural, processing, and packing equipment, textile equipment, and other gear such as gym equipment and car wash equipment. Without using shoulders or adapters, these products and large inner ring bearings are mounted on shafts. Setscrews or a locking collar are used to secure the bearing in place. Insert bearing Y bearings filled with lubricating grease and ready for installation. These are based on sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but they have an outer ring that is convex.
Versatile Mounting MethodsSKF Insert Bearings (Y-Bearings) offer a choice of set screw, eccentric collar, or adapter sleeve mounting methods to suit various shaft arrangements. These flexible options simplify installation and provide secure attachment, enhancing bearing reliability in different industrial setups. This adaptability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications and helps reduce downtime during maintenance or replacement.
Designed for Longevity and Misalignment ToleranceBuilt to handle misalignment up to 5, SKF Y-Bearings maintain smooth operation even in less-than-perfect alignment conditions. The sealed design and use of high-quality bearing steel offer dependable performance and help prevent contamination, extending service life. This is especially valuable in harsh working environments such as agriculture or material handling.
Broad Application Range and Standards ComplianceCompliant with ISO 9628 and ISO 12098, these insert bearings cater to diverse industries, including textile machinery, conveyor systems, and agricultural equipment. Their temperature range, grease lubrication, and optional corrosion-resistant versions ensure functionality across various environments, from humid processing plants to outdoor installations.
FAQs of SKF Insert Bearings (Y-Bearings ):
Q: How are SKF Insert Bearings (Y-Bearings) typically mounted?
A: SKF Insert Bearings (Y-Bearings) can be mounted using set screws, eccentric collars, or adapter sleeves, depending on the specific model. These options provide secure installation and adaptability to different shaft types and requirements.
Q: What types of machinery commonly use SKF Y-Bearings?
A: These bearings are widely used in agricultural machinery, conveyors, fans, textile equipment, and other industrial systems where reliable performance and misalignment tolerance are crucial.
Q: When should I consider using a corrosion-resistant variant of SKF Y-Bearings?
A: A corrosion-resistant variant is recommended if your application is exposed to humidity, chemicals, or washdowns, such as in food processing or outdoor agricultural equipment. These coatings protect the bearing and help ensure a longer service life.
Q: Where can SKF Insert Bearings operate in terms of temperature?
A: Standard SKF Y-Bearings operate effectively in temperatures ranging from -20C to +100C, making them suitable for most industrial and outdoor environments.
Q: What are the benefits of the spherical outside surface and extended inner ring design?
A: The spherical outside surface allows automatic alignment with the housing, compensating for shaft or housing misalignment. The extended inner ring provides additional shaft support, improving bearing stability and reducing wear.
Q: How is lubrication managed in SKF Insert Bearings?
A: SKF Y-Bearings are pre-lubricated with grease and sealed on both sides to keep contaminants out and retain lubrication, ensuring smooth and maintenance-friendly operation.
