How the YAR-207-2RF-HV model number is decoded

Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YAR 207-2RF/HV is a grub-screw insert bearing with the inner ring extended on both sides, 35x72x42.9 mm overall, whose convex spherical outer ring pivots in the spherical bore of a Y-pillow, Y-flange or take-up housing. Construction follows the Y-bearing principle: a capped and flinger-protected deep-groove ball insert, inner ring elongated for the screw points, outer ring convex-spherical for the housing seat. YAR is SKF's grub-screw insert design — an inner ring extended equally past the outer ring on both sides, the screws still 120 deg apart. the size code 207 carries the usual bore arithmetic — 35 mm (code 07 x 5) — while the leading 2 marks the ISO 15 diameter series 2 sphered-OD envelope. HV is the corrosion-resistant food-range variant of the -2RF sealed design — stainless parts plus food-compatible rubber and lubricant, which also explains its lower published C and limiting speed. Envelope 35x72x42.9 mm (1.378x2.835x1.689 in), outer ring 19 mm wide, C 21.6 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 3,200 r/min; mass 450 g. 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. Pitch-diameter arithmetic: dm = (35+72)/2 = 53.5 mm; at the 3,200 r/min limiting speed the ball set runs at dn approx 1.71x10^5, reduced from an open bearing mainly by seal lip friction and the life-long grease fill. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 72 over bore 35 is a 2.057x step, while bore/overall-width gives 0.816; the spherical seat in the matching Y-housing must be specified to the 72 mm OD, not to a cylindrical housing bore. Imperial procurement cross-check: 1.378 in bore, 2.835 in OD, 1.689 in overall width; the 450 g mass converts to 0.450 kg (15.9 oz) for the bill of materials. Load balance for documentation: C0 15.3 kN against C 21.6 kN gives a 0.708 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. Stainless food-range note: HV parts trade some capacity for corrosion resistance and food-compatible lubrication, and the printed limiting speed is set for that fill; do not top up with ordinary mineral grease in service — mixing greases can harden the food-grade fill and seize the seals. Service tip for YAR-207-2RF-HV: 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 18.5 mm radial section.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• 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.
• Do not specify the 35 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 21.6/15.3 kN figures belong specifically to YAR 207-2RF/HV; HV stainless, AG agricultural and VE495 zinc-plated variants of the same envelope publish derated values, so write the complete order number including suffixes on the purchase and maintenance records.
