How the YARAG-207-107 model number is decoded

Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YARAG 207-107 is a grub-screw insert bearing with the inner ring extended on both sides, 36.512499999999996x72x42.9 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. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -107 = 36.512 mm, which is why this row sits beside, not on, the metric bore size. AG is the application variant for agricultural equipment — the same bore and OD as the standard sealed size but an application-specific grease/seal build and a conservative limiting speed for field machinery. Envelope 36.512499999999996x72x42.9 mm (1.438x2.835x1.689 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 410 g. Selection figures for YARAG 207-107: C0/C is 0.6, Pu 0.655 kN is 2.569 % of the 25.5 kN dynamic rating, and the 410 g catalogue mass works out to roughly 11.229 g per millimetre of the 36.512499999999996 mm bore. Outer-vs-overall width: the outer ring is 19 mm wide inside the 42.9 mm total, so the extended inner ring accounts for 0.557 of the overall width (11.95 mm of axial projection per side). At the printed limiting speed of 1,100 r/min the mean diameter dm = 54.256 mm implies dn about 0.60x10^5 mm.r/min — the speed-demand figure used when comparing this insert with open deep-groove sizes of the same bore. Spherical-seat note in numbers: the 72 mm OD is ground spherical, so the self-aligning pivot happens on a circle roughly pi x 54.256 = 170.45 mm in mean circumference — keep that interface greased, because corrosion locking turns the pivot into a fixed misaligned mount. The s1 25.4 mm dimension is printed for the locking zone — the set-screw/collar seating reference — and it is verified at mounting, not recoverable from d/D/B alone. Set-screw geometry on this size: the two 120 deg screws bear on the 36.512499999999996 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

  • ventilation and extraction fans
  • 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
  • relubricated with incompatible grease that hardens the factory fill and drags the seals
  • sphered OD and spherical housing bore left dry or painted over: the static self-aligning feature freezes solid with corrosion
  • misalignment beyond the static seat capability loads the seals continuously, wearing one lip through in weeks

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • Do not specify the 36.512499999999996 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.
  • 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 207-107 as the grub two ag execution; other order numbers of the YARAG 207-107 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-207-107?

The catalogue envelope is 36.512499999999996x72x42.9 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 410 g. Ratings C 25.5/15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN, limiting speed 1,100 r/min.

What does the designation YARAG 207-107 mean?

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. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -107 = 36.512 mm, which is why this row sits beside, not on, the metric bore size. AG is the application variant for agricultural equipment — the same bore and OD as the standard sealed size but an application-specific grease/seal build and a conservative limiting speed for field machinery.

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.
