How the YAT-210 model number is decoded
Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YAT 210 is a grub-screw insert bearing with the inner ring extended on one side, 50x90x38.8 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. YAT is SKF's grub-screw insert design — a single extended inner-ring side housing the two 120 deg set screws. 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 bare designation means no factory seal package: unlike the -2F executions this bearing relies on enclosure by the Y-housing and its own re-greasing path, which is why it is normally specified inside well-sealed plummer and flange units. Envelope 50x90x38.8 mm (1.969x3.543x1.528 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 630 g. Selection figures for YAT 210: C0/C is 0.661, Pu 0.98 kN is 2.792 % of the 35.1 kN dynamic rating, and the 630 g catalogue mass works out to roughly 12.6 g per millimetre of the 50 mm bore. Static-first planning: the 0.598 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. Load balance for documentation: C0 23.2 kN against C 35.1 kN gives a 0.661 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 35.1 kN (L10), static 23.2 kN (s0 shock check), fatigue 0.98 kN (adjusted life) — three separate uses for YAT 210, none interchangeable with another. Fillet discipline: the printed r_min 1 mm limit means shaft and housing fillets must stay under that radius; a fillet that bottoms the 50x90 mm insert on its chamfer tilts the whole spherical seat. Single-extension fitting note: with the inner ring extended only on the locking side, orient the open (non-extended) face toward the shaft step or housing shoulder as the drawing shows — reversed, the set screws end up unsupported by the abutment and the shortened side offers no seal land at all. Service tip for YAT-210: 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 20 mm radial section.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- head- and tail-shaft pillow blocks in unit handling
- small packaging and labelling machines
- 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
- 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
- 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
- The 27.6 mm s1 dimension is the screw seating geometry inside the 16.8 mm of extended inner ring; a shaft step that crowds that side prevents the screws reaching the shaft squarely.
- 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.
- Replacement discipline: a one-side YAT 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 35.1/23.2 kN figures belong specifically to YAT 210; 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of YAT-210?
The catalogue envelope is 50x90x38.8 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 630 g. Ratings C 35.1/23.2 kN, Pu 0.98 kN, limiting speed 4,000 r/min.
What does the designation YAT 210 mean?
YAT is SKF's grub-screw insert design — a single extended inner-ring side housing the two 120 deg set screws. 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 bare designation means no factory seal package: unlike the -2F executions this bearing relies on enclosure by the Y-housing and its own re-greasing path, which is why it is normally specified inside well-sealed plummer and flange units.
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.
