How the YSPAG-205-100 model number is decoded
Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YSPAG 205-100 is a SKF ConCentra insert bearing with concentric stepped-sleeve locking and symmetrically extended inner ring, 25.4x52x33.2 mm overall, whose convex spherical outer ring pivots in the spherical bore of a Y-pillow, Y-flange or take-up housing. Construction is a sealed deep-groove insert, a symmetrically extended inner ring and the stepped ConCentra sleeve — uniform grip, minimal run-out, no shaft damage from screw points or an eccentric mass. reading YSP: SKF ConCentra technology locks the shaft through a stepped sleeve that contracts uniformly, chosen for high run-out accuracy and for shafts that must not be marked by screw points or an eccentric. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -100 = 25.4 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 25.4x52x33.2 mm (1x2.047x1.307 in), outer ring 15 mm wide, C 14 kN, C0 7.8 kN, Pu 0.335 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 1,500 r/min; mass 180 g. Envelope arithmetic: the radial section from 25.4 mm bore to 52 mm OD is 13.3 mm; dividing C 14 kN by that section gives 1.053 kN per section millimetre, and the 33.2 mm overall width is 2.496x the section. Selection figures for YSPAG 205-100: C0/C is 0.557, Pu 0.335 kN is 2.393 % of the 14 kN dynamic rating, and the 180 g catalogue mass works out to roughly 7.087 g per millimetre of the 25.4 mm bore. Pitch-diameter arithmetic: dm = (25.4+52)/2 = 38.7 mm; at the 1,500 r/min limiting speed the ball set runs at dn approx 0.58x10^5, reduced from an open bearing mainly by seal lip friction and the life-long grease fill. Mass-to-load ratio for YSPAG-205-100: 12.857 g of catalogue mass per rated kN of C, and 7.087 g per millimetre of bore — useful when comparing executions of the same 25.4x52 mm envelope on the drawing. At the printed limiting speed of 1,500 r/min the mean diameter dm = 38.7 mm implies dn about 0.58x10^5 mm.r/min — the speed-demand figure used when comparing this insert with open deep-groove sizes of the same bore. Reuse note for YSPAG-205-100: the stepped locking sleeve is a one-time clamping component in most over-torque cases; if the 25.4 mm shaft shows a polished sleeve imprint after withdrawal, fit a new sleeve rather than re-driving the old one.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- food and packaging conveyors
- fan and blower positions sensitive to imbalance
- vibrating conveyors and sieves where screws loosen
Known failure patterns
- sleeve re-driven after a first seating without cleaning gives false drive-up and creep under load
- puller applied to the sealed outer side during removal destroys flingers and seals instead of releasing the sleeve
- 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
- two bearings of the same size but different locking styles swapped during overhaul — shaft preparation (dimples, collar space, sleeve seat) no longer matches
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- ConCentra solves run-out and fretting but not gross misalignment — the housing spherical seat still carries that function; do not use the sleeve grip as an excuse to skip housing alignment.
- The SB shortened-inner-ring ConCentra unit needs its matching mounting sleeve and procedure; substituting a standard YSP sleeve or a generic drift is the usual cause of crooked drive-up on the 25.4 mm shaft.
- Inspect the shaft before sleeve mounting: a single deep keyway burr or old screw-point dimple under the 33.2 mm-wide sleeve causes a local unclamped arc that later frets.
- Ordering discipline for the 25.4 mm size: the chapter lists several executions side by side (YSP2 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of YSPAG-205-100?
The catalogue envelope is 25.4x52x33.2 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 180 g. Ratings C 14/7.8 kN, Pu 0.335 kN, limiting speed 1,500 r/min.
What does the designation YSPAG 205-100 mean?
reading YSP: SKF ConCentra technology locks the shaft through a stepped sleeve that contracts uniformly, chosen for high run-out accuracy and for shafts that must not be marked by screw points or an eccentric. for inch shafts the order number carries the bore as whole-inches plus sixteenths: -100 = 25.4 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.
What does SB mean in YSPAG 205-100?
SB identifies the ConCentra ball bearing with a shortened inner ring; the overall width is shorter than the non-SB ConCentra design while keeping the concentric sleeve lock and the -2F seal/flinger package.
What is SKF ConCentra locking?
A stepped (multi-diameter) sleeve between the shaft and the tapered/stepped inner-ring seat is driven axially until it contracts uniformly around the shaft — full-circumference grip, low run-out and no screw-point indentations or eccentric imbalance.
