The SKF YET CWU series covers insert bearings with an extended inner ring that lock to the shaft with set screws. They are made to drop into split plummer block or pillow block housings, which makes them a practical choice for conveyors, fans, mixers and similar equipment where installation and replacement need to stay simple. The CWU execution adds sealing and lubrication features intended for continuous duty, helping keep grease in and contaminants out.
Reading the code helps you pick the right insert. YET identifies a Y-bearing with an extended inner ring and two set screws for shaft fixing, while CWU points to the sealing and lubrication execution for continuous service. In references such as YET 206-104 CWU and YET 208-108 CWU, the first figure belongs to the metric series and the part after the hyphen gives the shaft diameter in inches and fractions, so you can match the bearing to both shaft and housing without guesswork.
Typical duty includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, pumps and equipment in the food, textile and agricultural sectors. Because the insert is sealed, it tolerates dust, moisture and splashes better than an open bearing. For replacement or new assembly, confirm the shaft diameter and the housing type that accepts an extended inner ring before ordering.
Installation is straightforward but benefits from care. Clean the shaft, apply a thin film of lubricant, seat the insert in the housing and tighten the set screws with the correct wrench at the recommended torque. Check alignment between housings to avoid extra load on the bearing. The CWU seal provides solid protection; in heavily contaminated areas, add supplementary seals. Maintenance intervals depend on whether the bearing is lifetime-lubricated or relubricable.
Interchange is possible with set-screw Y-bearings from other makers when dimensions and fixing method agree, and the YET series fits housings designed for extended-ring inserts. Always compare tolerances and internal clearance before substituting. If you are unsure, send the complete part number and our team can suggest equivalents and help you choose.
