How the YAR-210-2F model number is decoded

The YAR2 series order number YAR 210-2F is a SKF insert bearing (Y-bearing) for a 50 mm shaft: grub-screw insert bearing with the inner ring extended on both sides, built to the ISO 15 diameter-series envelope with a sphered OD of 90 mm. Inside is a sealed deep-groove ball set with an extended inner ring, two set screws 120 deg apart doing the shaft locking, and the sphered outer ring providing the unit's static alignment pivot. reading the YAR basic designation: set-screw shaft locking with the screws spaced 120 deg apart; YAR carries the symmetric, both-sides-extended inner ring. the size code 210 carries the usual bore arithmetic — 50 mm (code 10 x 5) — while the leading 2 marks the ISO 15 diameter series 2 sphered-OD envelope. the -2F external design pairs a nitrile contact seal with a plain sheet-steel thrower on both sides — a two-stage exclusion chain of flinger first, sealing lip second, typical of farm and conveyor duty. Envelope 50x90x51.6 mm (1.969x3.543x2.031 in), outer ring 22 mm wide, C 35.1 kN, C0 23.2 kN, Pu 0.98 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 4,000 r/min; mass 760 g. Width accounting on this execution: 51.6 mm overall and 22 mm outer-ring width leave the housing designer 29.6 mm of inner-ring projection to accommodate the locking arrangement. Speed ceiling of 4,000 r/min is the catalogue mechanical limit for THIS execution; seal lip and flinger drag, not steel fatigue, are normally what cap it, so real fan duty is planned well below it. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 62.5 mm) set the shaft-abutment and sleeve limits; an abutment larger than these numbers contacts the seal or the plain flinger. Static-first planning: the 0.45 kN of C0 per overall-width millimetre is the figure for belt tension peaks and rotor imbalance standstill loads on the 50 mm shaft, not the 35.1 kN L10 value. Capacity density: 35.1 kN from 0.760 kg of bearing steel is about 46.184 kN per kilogram, and per width millimetre the 51.6 mm unit carries 0.68 kN of dynamic capacity. 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. Set-screw geometry on this size: the two 120 deg screws bear on the 50 mm shaft inside the 51.6 mm total width while the outer ring is only 22 mm wide, leaving the extended ring to carry the screw points clear of the ball track.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• The 32.6 mm s1 dimension is the screw seating geometry inside the 29.6 mm of extended inner ring; a shaft step that crowds that side prevents the screws reaching the shaft squarely.
• 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.
• Do not specify the 50 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.
• The 35.1/23.2 kN figures belong specifically to YAR 210-2F; 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.
