How the YAR-207-105-2F model number is decoded

YAR 207-105-2F is SKF's 33.3375 mm-bore grub-screw insert bearing with the inner ring extended on both sides in the YAR2 series — a Y-bearing with a spherically ground outside surface for static self-alignment inside a matching SKF Y-housing, boundary dimensions 33.3375x72x42.9 mm. Wide-inner-ring deep-groove ball geometry carries the load: the extended inner ring gives the shaft grip and the seal lands, while the outer ring stays narrow and spherically ground on its outside surface. the YAR prefix names SKF grub-screw Y-bearings: two set screws in the extended inner ring lock the shaft at a 120 deg angle, and the inner ring extends symmetrically on both sides. the three-digit -105 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch 5/16 in = 33.337 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). suffix -2F means an NBR rubber contact seal plus a plain pressed-steel flinger on EACH side: the lip rides the extended inner ring while the flinger sheds coarse contamination before it reaches the lip. Envelope 33.3375x72x42.9 mm (1.313x2.835x1.689 in), outer ring 19 mm wide, C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 5,300 r/min; mass 480 g. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 46.1 mm) set the shaft-abutment and sleeve limits; an abutment larger than these numbers contacts the seal or the plain flinger. Fillet discipline: the printed r_min 1 mm limit means shaft and housing fillets must stay under that radius; a fillet that bottoms the 33.3375x72 mm insert on its chamfer tilts the whole spherical seat. Load balance for documentation: C0 15.3 kN against C 25.5 kN gives a 0.6 ratio; mounted-unit positions with shock and standstill loading are normally checked on C0, while conveyor and fan duty are evaluated on the L10 figure. Pitch-diameter arithmetic: dm = (33.3375+72)/2 = 52.669 mm; at the 5,300 r/min limiting speed the ball set runs at dn approx 2.79x10^5, reduced from an open bearing mainly by seal lip friction and the life-long grease fill. Width accounting on this execution: 42.9 mm overall and 19 mm outer-ring width leave the housing designer 23.9 mm of inner-ring projection to accommodate the locking arrangement. Both-sides sealed order-number note: the two set screws clamp through dimpled recesses in the extended inner ring; tighten alternately to the catalogue procedure and retighten after the first run-in period, because the -2F flingers keep dust out but cannot compensate for a screw that walked loose. Service tip for YAR-207-105-2F: dimpled or drilled shaft spots under the screw points are sometimes specified on shock duty, but the standard mounting relies on point indentation alone — never substitute longer screws that reach the 19.331 mm radial section.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • head- and tail-shaft pillow blocks in unit handling
  • small packaging and labelling machines
  • garden and groundcare equipment

Known failure patterns

  • shaft tolerance too loose for point locking: the screws deform the soft inner ring but never reach a rigid seat
  • set screws loosen under vibration or reversing load, letting the inner ring spin and fret the shaft at the screw points
  • misalignment beyond the static seat capability loads the seals continuously, wearing one lip through in weeks
  • relubricated with incompatible grease that hardens the factory fill and drags the seals
  • water or slurry past the seal lip emulsifies the life-long grease and rusts the flinger recess

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Do not specify the 33.3375 mm grub-screw insert for a shaft harder than about 45 HRC without dimples: the screw points skate on hard surfaces and the unit creeps regardless of tightening torque.
  • Replacement discipline: a YAR insert is not interchangeable with an eccentric-collar unit of the same envelope — the shaft may need spot-facing or collar space that does not exist.
  • The 25.4 mm s1 dimension is the screw seating geometry inside the 23.9 mm of extended inner ring; a shaft step that crowds that side prevents the screws reaching the shaft squarely.
  • Catalogue ratings belong to YAR 207-105-2F as the grub two f execution; other order numbers of the YAR 207-105 size are different articles (open vs sealed, plain vs rubberized flinger, stainless vs carbon steel) and may carry different ratings or speeds — always quote the full designation.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of YAR-207-105-2F?

YAR 207-105-2F measures 33.3375 mm bore x 72 mm OD x 42.9 mm overall width (outer ring 19 mm wide), 1.313 x 2.835 x 1.689 in; mass about 480 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN, limiting speed 5,300 r/min.

What does the designation YAR 207-105-2F mean?

the YAR prefix names SKF grub-screw Y-bearings: two set screws in the extended inner ring lock the shaft at a 120 deg angle, and the inner ring extends symmetrically on both sides. the three-digit -105 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch 5/16 in = 33.337 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). suffix -2F means an NBR rubber contact seal plus a plain pressed-steel flinger on EACH side: the lip rides the extended inner ring while the flinger sheds coarse contamination before it reaches the lip.

How is YAR-207-105-2F lubricated?

It is grease-filled and sealed for life at the factory; the housing fitting allows re-greasing through the outer-ring arrangement where provided. Never mix grease types on the food-grade HV/VE495 executions.

How do the set screws lock the 33.3375 mm shaft?

Two set screws in the extended inner ring, spaced 120 deg apart, are tightened in sequence against the shaft; their points create small indentations that resist rotation and axial drift. Use the SKF mounting procedure and re-check after run-in, especially on vibrating conveyors.
