Insert bearings (Y-bearings)
Insert bearings (SKF Y-bearings) are based on sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a convex outer ring and in most cases an extended inner ring with a specific locking device, enabling quick and easy mounting onto the shaft.
Features and benefits
- Quick and easy to mount
The different locking methods enable quick and easy mounting of insert bearings onto the shaft. - Accommodate initial misalignment
The spherically shaped outside surface enables initial misalignment by tilting in the housing (fig. 1). - Long service life
The different sealing solutions available provide a long service life for a wide variety of applications with high contamination levels.
- Reduced noise and vibration levels
Where high requirements on noise and vibration levels are important, SKF can provide the appropriate shaft locking method.
