The SKF Y-Bearing PER.GW SP is an insert-type bearing with a spherical outer ring, made to sit in split or pillow block housings. It suits equipment where perfect alignment is hard to maintain and small misalignments must be absorbed. The insert includes a sealing system and a locking method for the shaft, which keeps maintenance straightforward. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series for industrial applications across the United States and Latin America.

Reading the code helps you identify the insert. PER marks a Y-bearing with a spherical outer ring. GW describes the seal, and SP indicates locking by set screws on the inner ring. The digits that follow, as in PER.GW208SPPB5 or PER.GW208SPPB8, relate to shaft diameter and insert size. End suffixes such as B5 or B8 separate variants in the same series, usually tied to construction or sealing details.

You will find these bearings in conveying and transmission equipment at industrial, food, textile and aggregate plants. Typical positions include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and agricultural machinery. In dusty or damp settings, the spherical outer ring lets the insert tilt slightly, absorbing small alignment errors between shaft and housing. That reduces mounting effort and helps avoid early wear.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, load type and the environment. The GW seal handles dust and splashes; for direct water or chemical contact, consider a version with heavier sealing. Set screw locking needs a shaft of suitable hardness and correct diameter, since a soft or worn shaft may let the insert slip. At mounting, keep the housing clean and seat the bearing properly. Factory lubrication covers most cases, though severe conditions may call for periodic relubrication.

Y-bearings from different brands can interchange when the main dimensions match: bore, outer diameter and width. The locking system and seal may still differ, so do not rely on the code alone. Compare dimensions and operating conditions. To replace a Y-bearing from another brand, send the dimensions or the full code. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find the equivalent among the brands we supply.

If you have the code of the Y-bearing you need, send it by WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories. With that information we can identify the exact variant and prepare your quote. If the code is not available, share the shaft and housing dimensions plus a photo of the assembly. We will help you select the right insert so your equipment keeps running.
