How the YARAG-205-100 model number is decoded
YARAG 205-100 is SKF's 25.4 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 25.4x52x34.1 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 -100 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch = 25.4 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). AG marks the agricultural-machinery application execution, built on the sealed both-sides-extended geometry and tuned for the low-speed, shock-laden duty of harvesters, balers and spreaders — note the catalogue prints a much reduced limiting speed for this variant. Envelope 25.4x52x34.1 mm (1x2.047x1.343 in), outer ring 15 mm wide, C 14 kN, C0 7.8 kN, Pu 0.335 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 1,500 r/min; mass 180 g. Rating split for the maintenance file: dynamic 14 kN (L10), static 7.8 kN (s0 shock check), fatigue 0.335 kN (adjusted life) — three separate uses for YARAG 205-100, none interchangeable with another. Load balance for documentation: C0 7.8 kN against C 14 kN gives a 0.557 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. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 52 over bore 25.4 is a 2.047x step, while bore/overall-width gives 0.745; the spherical seat in the matching Y-housing must be specified to the 52 mm OD, not to a cylindrical housing bore. Imperial procurement cross-check: 1 in bore, 2.047 in OD, 1.343 in overall width; the 180 g mass converts to 0.180 kg (6.3 oz) for the bill of materials. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 33.7 mm) set the shaft-abutment and sleeve limits; an abutment larger than these numbers contacts the seal or the inner flinger. Service tip for YARAG-205-100: 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 13.3 mm radial section.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- head- and tail-shaft pillow blocks in unit handling
- garden and groundcare equipment
- trough conveyor idler drives
Known failure patterns
- set screws loosen under vibration or reversing load, letting the inner ring spin and fret the shaft at the screw points
- hammering the bearing onto a tight shaft through the outer ring brinells the ball tracks before first start-up
- misalignment beyond the static seat capability loads the seals continuously, wearing one lip through in weeks
- water or slurry past the seal lip emulsifies the life-long grease and rusts the flinger recess
- sphered OD and spherical housing bore left dry or painted over: the static self-aligning feature freezes solid with corrosion
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Do not specify the 25.4 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 19.8 mm s1 dimension is the screw seating geometry inside the 19.1 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.
- Catalogue ratings belong to YARAG 205-100 as the grub two ag execution; other order numbers of the YARAG 205-100 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 YARAG-205-100?
YARAG 205-100 measures 25.4 mm bore x 52 mm OD x 34.1 mm overall width (outer ring 15 mm wide), 1 x 2.047 x 1.343 in; mass about 180 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 14 kN, C0 7.8 kN, Pu 0.335 kN, limiting speed 1,500 r/min.
What does the designation YARAG 205-100 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 -100 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch = 25.4 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). AG marks the agricultural-machinery application execution, built on the sealed both-sides-extended geometry and tuned for the low-speed, shock-laden duty of harvesters, balers and spreaders — note the catalogue prints a much reduced limiting speed for this variant.
What is the difference between YAT and YAR?
YAT has the inner ring extended on ONE side (and in this chapter is the open execution); YAR extends the inner ring symmetrically on BOTH sides and is delivered with seal/flinger packages such as -2F or -2RF. Bore, OD and ball set are shared; overall width and sealing differ.
Can a grub-screw insert replace an eccentric-collar one?
Not without checking shaft and housing preparation: collar units need axial space for the collar and rely on rotation-direction self-tightening, while grub screws need clean shaft spots under the points. Same envelope does not mean same mounting.
