This SKF YET 206-103 CW ball bearing insert with locking collar and contact seals is suitable for use in castings or weldments to carry shafts with radial and axial loads, such as in light-duty material handling. The cylindrical one-piece housing is permanently sealed and lubricated to help extend service life. It has a 1-3/16" bore diameter, a 62 mm outside diameter, and an 18 mm width. This heat treated steel bearing insert has deep-groove bearing races that support high radial and axial loads and a glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 plastic cage that spaces the ball bearings for even load distribution and prevents contact to reduce friction, vibration, and noise. An eccentric collar extends from the bearing inside ring to lock the collar and bearing onto the shaft. This bearing allows self-realignment and compensates for static and dynamic alignment errors, and has single lip contact seals to retain lubricant and protect against contamination that would shorten the bearing life. This ball bearing insert is suitable for use in material handling applications, such as in vibrating conveyors.

Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.

SKF manufactures bearings, seals, and lubrication systems for automotive, energy, and other industrial applications. The company, founded in 1907 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 and ISO/TS 16949.
