The SKF PER.SN is a Y-bearing insert built with a spherical outer ring and a set screw locking arrangement on the inner ring. It seats in split plummer block housings or flanged housings, which makes it a practical choice on equipment where perfect alignment is hard to hold and the load stays within a moderate range. Typical duty includes agricultural machinery, conveyors and process lines. The sealed design keeps dust and moisture away from the rolling elements, which supports longer service in tough conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line through its bearing catalog.

Reading the code helps when you order a replacement. PER.SN points to an SKF Y-bearing with a spherical outer ring and set screws on the inner ring, while the SN suffix marks a defined seal variant intended for moderate contact with contaminants. The reference PER.SN-1816 follows the usual pattern, with letters for the series and the trailing number for size. Shaft diameter and the housing the insert will sit in are the two details to confirm before choosing.

You will find these inserts on seeders, harvesters, grain conveyors, belt conveyors and process equipment in food and beverage plants. Oilseed, meatpacking and aggregate processing operations rely on them as well. Because the outer ring is spherical, the bearing absorbs a degree of misalignment, which suits long shafts and structures that are not fully rigid. Industrial fans and mixers are other common homes for this design.

Selection starts with matching the shaft diameter to the insert bore and checking that the housing accepts a spherical outer ring. The SN seal handles dust and splashes; it is not intended for immersion in liquids. When mounting, tighten the set screws with a torque wrench at the manufacturer's recommended value and make sure the shaft surface is free of burrs. Correct lubrication and alignment both affect how long the bearing lasts.

SKF Y-bearings interchange with other brands that work to the same dimensional standard. For a replacement, compare shaft diameter, overall width and locking method rather than the brand name alone. Inserts sharing an outside diameter are not always equivalent, since the seal and locking design can differ. Send us the original part number and we will help you confirm the match.
