The SKF YET series covers Y-bearings, also called inserts, built with an extended inner ring and a set screw locking arrangement. They mount quickly on a shaft and are widely used in power transmission equipment, where their design helps compensate for misalignment and keeps maintenance straightforward. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line as part of its bearing catalog for customers in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code starts with the YET prefix, which points to a Y-bearing with extended inner ring and set screws. The digits that follow give the bore: YET 203 takes a 17 mm shaft, YET 204 a 20 mm shaft and YET 205 a 25 mm shaft. A hyphen marks special bores, so YET 203-008 corresponds to 12.7 mm (1/2 inch), while a slash such as YET 203/15 signals a 15 mm diameter. Checking these characters first narrows the selection quickly.
Typical installations include conveyors, grain elevators, food processing machinery, bottling lines, fans and transmission systems. These bearings handle moderate radial and axial loads and suit shafts running at medium speeds. They also fit split plummer block housings and take-up frames, which makes mounting and dismounting in the field easier for maintenance crews.
Selection depends on shaft diameter, the radial and axial loads involved and the surrounding conditions. Confirm that the set screw locking suits the shaft and that lubrication is appropriate for the application. Align the housing carefully during mounting to avoid added stress on the bearing. In dusty or damp areas, look at versions with additional seals. The YET series runs with normal internal clearance.
YET bearings interchange with other brands that use the same dimensional designation. When replacing one, compare bore diameter, outer diameter and width, then check the locking method and seal arrangement. Inserts with extended inner ring and set screws from different manufacturers generally substitute for one another when dimensions and locking match. Reviewing the technical specifications before ordering is always recommended.

Frequently asked questions
- What does YET mean in an SKF bearing code?
- YET identifies a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and set screw locking. The number after it indicates the bore diameter, while a hyphen or slash shows special sizes such as inch or intermediate diameters.
- How is a YET bearing mounted on a shaft?
- The insert goes onto the shaft and is locked with the set screws on the inner ring. Align the housing correctly and tighten the screws with the proper wrench to prevent slipping, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Can YET bearings be replaced with another brand?
- In general yes, as long as the other Y-bearing shares the same dimensions and locking type. Verify bore diameter, outer diameter, width and sealing arrangement before substituting.
