The SKF Insert bearings (SKF Y-bearings) are based on sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a convex outer ring and in most cases an extended inner ring with a specific locking device, enabling quick and easy mounting onto the shaft. Here are examples of applications in which insert bearings might be used: Agricultural machinery, Food and beverage processing and packaging, Conveyor systems, Material handling systems, Textile equipment, Industrial fans, Special machinery, e.g. car wash systems, gym equipment, go-karts.
