How the YARAG-207-106 model number is decoded

The YAR2 series order number YARAG 207-106 is a SKF insert bearing (Y-bearing) for a 34.925 mm (1.375 in) 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 72 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. inch bore code -106 decodes as 1" +6/16, i.e. 34.925 mm; the metric coded size YARAG 207 shares the same envelope but its bore is the metric value, not this one. the AG suffix identifies the farm-duty variant of the range: sealed and flinger-protected for chaff and dust, with the catalogue deliberately derating its permissible speed versus the industrial execution. Envelope 34.925x72x42.9 mm (1.375x2.835x1.689 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: 1,100 r/min; mass 440 g. Fillet discipline: the printed r_min 1 mm limit means shaft and housing fillets must stay under that radius; a fillet that bottoms the 34.925x72 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. Rating split for the maintenance file: dynamic 25.5 kN (L10), static 15.3 kN (s0 shock check), fatigue 0.655 kN (adjusted life) — three separate uses for YARAG 207-106, none interchangeable with another. Mass-to-load ratio for YARAG-207-106: 17.255 g of catalogue mass per rated kN of C, and 12.598 g per millimetre of bore — useful when comparing executions of the same 34.925x72 mm envelope on the drawing. Pitch-diameter arithmetic: dm = (34.925+72)/2 = 53.462 mm; at the 1,100 r/min limiting speed the ball set runs at dn approx 0.59x10^5, reduced from an open bearing mainly by seal lip friction and the life-long grease fill. Set-screw geometry on this size: the two 120 deg screws bear on the 34.925 mm shaft inside the 42.9 mm total width while the outer ring is only 19 mm wide, leaving the extended ring to carry the screw points clear of the ball track.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • head- and tail-shaft pillow blocks in unit handling
  • garden and groundcare equipment
  • ventilation and extraction fans

Known failure patterns

  • hammering the bearing onto a tight shaft through the outer ring brinells the ball tracks before first start-up
  • shaft tolerance too loose for point locking: the screws deform the soft inner ring but never reach a rigid seat
  • two bearings of the same size but different locking styles swapped during overhaul — shaft preparation (dimples, collar space, sleeve seat) no longer matches
  • relubricated with incompatible grease that hardens the factory fill and drags the seals
  • pressure-greasing through the housing fitting at excessive pressure balloons the NBR seals out of their grooves

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • 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 34.925 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 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.
  • Ordering discipline for the 34.925 mm size: the chapter lists several executions side by side (YAR2 locking style x seal package x application variant); a bare-number substitution needs a fresh dimension, speed and rating check rather than a like-for-like assumption.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of YARAG-207-106?

Boundary dimensions: bore 34.925 mm, sphered OD 72 mm, overall width 42.9 mm; weight 440 g. Loads: dynamic 25.5 kN, static 15.3 kN, fatigue 0.655 kN; the only published speed is the 1,100 r/min limiting value.

What does the designation YARAG 207-106 mean?

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. inch bore code -106 decodes as 1" +6/16, i.e. 34.925 mm; the metric coded size YARAG 207 shares the same envelope but its bore is the metric value, not this one. the AG suffix identifies the farm-duty variant of the range: sealed and flinger-protected for chaff and dust, with the catalogue deliberately derating its permissible speed versus the industrial execution.

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.
