How the YET-207-VL065 model number is decoded

YET 207/VL065 is SKF's 35 mm-bore eccentric-locking-collar insert bearing with a one-side-extended inner ring in the YEL2 series — a Y-bearing with a spherically ground outside surface for static self-alignment inside a matching SKF Y-housing, boundary dimensions 35x72x25.4 mm. The deep-groove ball set is built into an extended inner ring carrying a separate eccentric locking collar; turning the collar against its eccentric seat pinches the shaft, and the sphered outer ring self-aligns in the housing. the YET prefix identifies the eccentric-locking-collar design: a separate eccentric collar turns against a matching eccentric on the extended inner ring to pinch the shaft, extended one side. 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. /VL065 means the inner-ring bore and side faces are zinc coated: corrosion protection on the shaft seating and abutment faces without changing the seal package or the carbon-steel outer ring. Envelope 35x72x25.4 mm (1.378x2.835x1 in), outer ring 19 mm wide, C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN. Mounted width B1 38.9 mm includes the eccentric collar. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 5,300 r/min; mass 460 g. Width accounting: B1 38.9 mm covers the bearing WITH its eccentric locking collar against 25.4 mm for the bearing itself and 19 mm outer-ring width; housing axial space is drawn to B1, seal replacement space to B. Envelope arithmetic: the radial section from 35 mm bore to 72 mm OD is 18.5 mm; dividing C 25.5 kN by that section gives 1.378 kN per section millimetre, and the 25.4 mm overall width is 1.373x the section. 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. Static-first planning: the 0.602 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. Capacity density: 25.5 kN from 0.460 kg of bearing steel is about 55.435 kN per kilogram, and per width millimetre the 25.4 mm unit carries 1.004 kN of dynamic capacity. Zinc-coated one-side collar note: the VL065 layer protects the inner-ring bore and abutment faces; the eccentric collar itself is uncoated, so grease the collar-back interface to keep the zinc-free face from corroding fast to the inner ring. Direction rule for YET-207-VL065: the eccentric collar self-tightens in the shaft's running direction, so mark rotation at mounting; the 35 mm shaft must be free of burrs under the collar or the eccentric cannot bed flat.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Overall width 38.9 mm includes collar space — a housing sized for a grub-screw insert of the same OD can be too narrow axially for the YET collar.
• The eccentric collar is handed to running direction; fit it wrong on the 35 mm shaft and self-tightening becomes self-loosening. Mark the shaft rotation before stripping any YEL2 collar unit.
• 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.
• The 25.5/15.3 kN figures belong specifically to YET 207/VL065; 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.
