How the YELAG-207-104 model number is decoded

Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YELAG 207-104 is a eccentric-locking-collar insert bearing with the inner ring extended on both sides, 31.75x72x37.6 mm overall, whose convex spherical outer ring pivots in the spherical bore of a Y-pillow, Y-flange or take-up housing. Construction pairs capped deep-groove geometry with a one-piece eccentric locking collar and a convex outer ring — quick to mount on plain commercial shafts and tolerant of initial static misalignment. reading YEL: an eccentric locking collar does the shaft clamping (popular where shaft tolerance and quick removal matter), inner ring extended symmetrically both sides. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -104 = 31.75 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 31.75x72x37.6 mm (1.25x2.835x1.48 in), outer ring 19 mm wide, C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN. Mounted width B1 51.1 mm includes the eccentric collar. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 1,100 r/min; mass 600 g. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 46.1 mm, d2 51.1 mm) set the shaft-abutment and sleeve limits; an abutment larger than these numbers contacts the seal or the inner flinger. Fatigue-limit check: Pu 0.655 kN is the equivalent-load threshold under which the SKF adjusted-rating model credits very long life for YELAG 207-104 — most belt-driven mounted-unit loads sit comfortably under 2.569 % of C. 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 YELAG 207-104, none interchangeable with another. The s1 32.3 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. Envelope arithmetic: the radial section from 31.75 mm bore to 72 mm OD is 20.125 mm; dividing C 25.5 kN by that section gives 1.267 kN per section millimetre, and the 37.6 mm overall width is 1.868x the section. Collar geometry for this size: over the 19 mm outer-ring width the inner ring runs to 37.6 mm overall (51.1 mm including the eccentric collar width), giving the collar its eccentric seating face clear of the seal.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • ventilation equipment with frequent bearing changes
  • one-direction conveyor drives
  • tiller and cultivator rotors

Known failure patterns

  • burr or paint under the eccentric faces prevents full bite, leaving an eccentric preload that runs hot
  • eccentric collar mounted against rotation direction works loose and spins, fretting the shaft
  • 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

  • The eccentric collar is handed to running direction; fit it wrong on the 31.75 mm shaft and self-tightening becomes self-loosening. Mark the shaft rotation before stripping any YEL2 collar unit.
  • Overall width 51.1 mm includes collar space — a housing sized for a grub-screw insert of the same OD can be too narrow axially for the YEL collar.
  • Never pin or weld the eccentric collar: the controlled eccentric friction is the locking principle, and pinning turns a demountable insert into a shaft-replacement job.
  • Catalogue ratings belong to YELAG 207-104 as the ecc two ag execution; other order numbers of the YELAG 207-104 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 YELAG-207-104?

The catalogue envelope is 31.75x72x37.6 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 600 g. Ratings C 25.5/15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN, limiting speed 1,100 r/min.

What does the designation YELAG 207-104 mean?

reading YEL: an eccentric locking collar does the shaft clamping (popular where shaft tolerance and quick removal matter), inner ring extended symmetrically both sides. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -104 = 31.75 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.

Why is the collar sometimes wider than the bearing (B1)?

The B1 dimension includes the eccentric collar's axial width, so the housing needs that extra space beside the bearing. Draw housings to B1, not B, when replacing a grub-screw unit with a collar unit.

What is the difference between YET and YEL?

YET has the inner ring extended on one side; YEL extends it on both sides. Both lock with the eccentric collar and share bore/OD geometry; the sealed -2F executions sit in the YEL listings.
