How the YSPAG-207-104 model number is decoded
YSPAG 207-104 is SKF's 31.75 mm-bore SKF ConCentra insert bearing with concentric stepped-sleeve locking and symmetrically extended inner ring in the YSP2 series — a Y-bearing with a spherically ground outside surface for static self-alignment inside a matching SKF Y-housing, boundary dimensions 31.75x72x39.7 mm. The ConCentra principle replaces point or eccentric clamping: a stepped sleeve between shaft and inner ring is driven axially to contract uniformly, concentric with the sphered-OD sealed ball insert. the YSP prefix names SKF ConCentra locking: a stepped (multi-diameter) sleeve between shaft and inner ring is driven axially to grip concentrically, avoiding the local shaft fretting of set screws or the imbalance of an eccentric collar. the three-digit -104 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch 4/16 in = 31.75 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). AG marks the agricultural-machinery application execution, built on the sealed both-sides-extended geometry and tuned for the low-speed, shock-laden duty of harvesters, balers and spreaders — note the catalogue prints a much reduced limiting speed for this variant. Envelope 31.75x72x39.7 mm (1.25x2.835x1.563 in), outer ring 19 mm wide, C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 1,100 r/min; mass 490 g. Load balance for documentation: C0 15.3 kN against C 25.5 kN gives a 0.6 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. Fatigue-limit check: Pu 0.655 kN is the equivalent-load threshold under which the SKF adjusted-rating model credits very long life for YSPAG 207-104 — most belt-driven mounted-unit loads sit comfortably under 2.569 % of C. Mass-to-load ratio for YSPAG-207-104: 19.216 g of catalogue mass per rated kN of C, and 15.433 g per millimetre of bore — useful when comparing executions of the same 31.75x72 mm envelope on the drawing. Pitch-diameter arithmetic: dm = (31.75+72)/2 = 51.875 mm; at the 1,100 r/min limiting speed the ball set runs at dn approx 0.57x10^5, reduced from an open bearing mainly by seal lip friction and the life-long grease fill. Speed ceiling of 1,100 r/min is the catalogue mechanical limit for THIS execution; the AG agricultural derate is deliberate, so real fan duty is planned well below it. Reuse note for YSPAG-207-104: the stepped locking sleeve is a one-time clamping component in most over-torque cases; if the 31.75 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
- high-speed textile and processing rollers
- vibrating conveyors and sieves where screws loosen
- fan and blower positions sensitive to imbalance
Known failure patterns
- undersized/over-toleranced shaft never reaches full sleeve grip despite correct drive-up
- stepped sleeve driven crooked scores the shaft and leaves one clamping arc unloaded
- sphered OD and spherical housing bore left dry or painted over: the static self-aligning feature freezes solid with corrosion
- relubricated with incompatible grease that hardens the factory fill and drags the seals
- pressure-greasing through the housing fitting at excessive pressure balloons the NBR seals out of their grooves
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 31.75 mm shaft.
- Inspect the shaft before sleeve mounting: a single deep keyway burr or old screw-point dimple under the 39.7 mm-wide sleeve causes a local unclamped arc that later frets.
- Ordering discipline for the 31.75 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-207-104?
YSPAG 207-104 measures 31.75 mm bore x 72 mm OD x 39.7 mm overall width (outer ring 19 mm wide), 1.25 x 2.835 x 1.563 in; mass about 490 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 25.5 kN, C0 15.3 kN, Pu 0.655 kN, limiting speed 1,100 r/min.
What does the designation YSPAG 207-104 mean?
the YSP prefix names SKF ConCentra locking: a stepped (multi-diameter) sleeve between shaft and inner ring is driven axially to grip concentrically, avoiding the local shaft fretting of set screws or the imbalance of an eccentric collar. the three-digit -104 tail codes the bore in inches for inch-shaft bearings: 1 whole inch 4/16 in = 31.75 mm (first digit whole inches, next two sixteenths of an inch). AG marks the agricultural-machinery application execution, built on the sealed both-sides-extended geometry and tuned for the low-speed, shock-laden duty of harvesters, balers and spreaders — note the catalogue prints a much reduced limiting speed for this variant.
Can the locking sleeve be reused?
Usually not after a full service life or an over-torqued first mounting: the stepped sleeve takes a permanent set. SKF recommends a new sleeve whenever the bearing is replaced on the same shaft.
When should I choose YSP over YAR or YEL?
Choose ConCentra for high run-out accuracy, vibrating or reversing shafts, and shafts that must not be marked: fans, vibrating conveyors, sieves and balanced rotors. It needs the correct sleeve and drive procedure rather than simple screw tightening.
