How the YARAG-207 model number is decoded
Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YARAG 207 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. 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 35x72x42.9 mm (1.378x2.835x1.689 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. Fatigue-limit check: Pu 0.655 kN is the equivalent-load threshold under which the SKF adjusted-rating model credits very long life for YARAG 207 — most belt-driven mounted-unit loads sit comfortably under 2.569 % of C. Static-first planning: the 0.357 kN of C0 per overall-width millimetre is the figure for belt tension peaks and rotor imbalance standstill loads on the 35 mm shaft, not the 25.5 kN L10 value. Fillet discipline: the printed r_min 1 mm limit means shaft and housing fillets must stay under that radius; a fillet that bottoms the 35x72 mm insert on its chamfer tilts the whole spherical seat. Imperial procurement cross-check: 1.378 in bore, 2.835 in OD, 1.689 in overall width; the 440 g mass converts to 0.440 kg (15.5 oz) for the bill of materials. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 46.1 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-207: 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
Common applications
- small packaging and labelling machines
- head- and tail-shaft pillow blocks in unit handling
- garden and groundcare equipment
Known failure patterns
- over-tightened screw points dimple the shaft so deeply that the bearing cannot be removed without machining
- loose screws back out into the seal/flinger gap, tearing the NBR lip and admitting abrasive dust
- pressure-greasing through the housing fitting at excessive pressure balloons the NBR seals out of their grooves
- relubricated with incompatible grease that hardens the factory fill and drags the seals
- water or slurry past the seal lip emulsifies the life-long grease and rusts the flinger recess
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- 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 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.
- Catalogue ratings belong to YARAG 207 as the grub two ag execution; other order numbers of the YARAG 207 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?
The catalogue envelope is 35x72x42.9 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 440 g. Ratings C 25.5/15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN, limiting speed 1,100 r/min.
What does the designation YARAG 207 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. 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. 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.
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.
Why is the outside surface spherical?
The convex spherical OD mates with a matching spherical bore in the SKF Y-housing, accommodating initial STATIC misalignment at mounting. It is not a continuous-oscillation pivot and it does not work in a cylindrical plain bore.
