How the YET-212-207 model number is decoded

Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YET 212-207 is a eccentric-locking-collar insert bearing with a one-side-extended inner ring, 61.912499999999994x110x36.7 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 YET: an eccentric locking collar does the shaft clamping (popular where shaft tolerance and quick removal matter), inner ring extended on one side. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -207 = 61.912 mm, which is why this row sits beside, not on, the metric bore size. 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 61.912499999999994x110x36.7 mm (2.438x4.331x1.445 in), outer ring 26 mm wide, C 52.7 kN, C0 36 kN, Pu 1.53 kN. Mounted width B1 52.6 mm includes the eccentric collar. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 3,400 r/min; mass 1250 g. Static-first planning: the 0.981 kN of C0 per overall-width millimetre is the figure for belt tension peaks and rotor imbalance standstill loads on the 61.912499999999994 mm shaft, not the 52.7 kN L10 value. At the printed limiting speed of 3,400 r/min the mean diameter dm = 85.956 mm implies dn about 2.92x10^5 mm.r/min — the speed-demand figure used when comparing this insert with open deep-groove sizes of the same bore. Mass-to-load ratio for YET-212-207: 23.719 g of catalogue mass per rated kN of C, and 20.19 g per millimetre of bore — useful when comparing executions of the same 61.912499999999994x110 mm envelope on the drawing. Width accounting: B1 52.6 mm covers the bearing WITH its eccentric locking collar against 36.7 mm for the bearing itself and 26 mm outer-ring width; housing axial space is drawn to B1, seal replacement space to B. Load balance for documentation: C0 36 kN against C 52.7 kN gives a 0.683 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. One-side collar note: the eccentric collar mounts on the extended side only and must turn in the shaft rotation direction to self-tighten; on reversing drives this design can loosen by design intent — choose grub-screw or ConCentra locking for true bidirectional shafts. Direction rule for YET-212-207: the eccentric collar self-tightens in the shaft's running direction, so mark rotation at mounting; the 61.912499999999994 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

• 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 eccentric collar is handed to running direction; fit it wrong on the 61.912499999999994 mm shaft and self-tightening becomes self-loosening. Mark the shaft rotation before stripping any YEL2 collar unit.
• Overall width 52.6 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.
• Ordering discipline for the 61.912499999999994 mm size: the chapter lists several executions side by side (YEL2 locking style x seal package x application variant); a bare-number substitution needs a fresh dimension, speed and rating check rather than a like-for-like assumption.
