How the YSPAG-209 model number is decoded
Listed in SKF 17000 chapter 2, YSPAG 209 is a SKF ConCentra insert bearing with concentric stepped-sleeve locking and symmetrically extended inner ring, 45x85x44.2 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. the size code 209 carries the usual bore arithmetic — 45 mm (code 09 x 5) — while the leading 2 marks the ISO 15 diameter series 2 sphered-OD envelope. 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 45x85x44.2 mm (1.772x3.346x1.74 in), outer ring 22 mm wide, C 33.2 kN, C0 21.6 kN, Pu 0.915 kN. The catalogue publishes a single speed ceiling, the limiting speed: 850 r/min; mass 640 g. Fatigue-limit check: Pu 0.915 kN is the equivalent-load threshold under which the SKF adjusted-rating model credits very long life for YSPAG 209 — most belt-driven mounted-unit loads sit comfortably under 2.756 % of C. Rating split for the maintenance file: dynamic 33.2 kN (L10), static 21.6 kN (s0 shock check), fatigue 0.915 kN (adjusted life) — three separate uses for YSPAG 209, none interchangeable with another. Grease-life arithmetic is dominated by speed: at dn approx 0.55x10^5 the sealed-for-life fill is planned for the catalogue's grease-life regime, which is why the AG variant caps speed so aggressively, and high-temperature mounts shorten both even when load is light. The s1 26.7 mm dimension is printed for the locking zone — the pre-drive position of the ConCentra stepped sleeve — and it is verified at mounting, not recoverable from d/D/B alone. Inner-geometry cross-reference: the catalogue shoulder diameters (d1 56.8 mm, d2 67 mm) set the shaft-abutment and sleeve limits; an abutment larger than these numbers contacts the seal or the inner flinger. Sleeve geometry: the ConCentra stepped sleeve occupies the symmetric extension up to the 44.2 mm overall width while the sphered outer ring stays 22 mm wide — uniform sleeve contraction is why run-out stays low at 45 mm bore.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- fan and blower positions sensitive to imbalance
- vibrating conveyors and sieves where screws loosen
- food and packaging conveyors
Known failure patterns
- puller applied to the sealed outer side during removal destroys flingers and seals instead of releasing the sleeve
- stepped sleeve driven crooked scores the shaft and leaves one clamping arc unloaded
- 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
- Inspect the shaft before sleeve mounting: a single deep keyway burr or old screw-point dimple under the 44.2 mm-wide sleeve causes a local unclamped arc that later frets.
- 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 45 mm shaft.
- 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 33.2/21.6 kN figures belong specifically to YSPAG 209; 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.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of YSPAG-209?
The catalogue envelope is 45x85x44.2 mm with a spherical outside surface; mass 640 g. Ratings C 33.2/21.6 kN, Pu 0.915 kN, limiting speed 850 r/min.
What does the designation YSPAG 209 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. the size code 209 carries the usual bore arithmetic — 45 mm (code 09 x 5) — while the leading 2 marks the ISO 15 diameter series 2 sphered-OD envelope. 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.
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.
