Insert bearings (Y-bearings)
Insert bearings (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.
- Quick and easy to mount
The different locking methods enable quick and easy mounting of insert bearings (Y-bearings) onto the shaft. - Accommodate initial misalignment
The spherically shaped outside surface enables initial misalignment by tilting in the housing. - Long service life
The different sealing solutions available provide a long service life for a wide variety of applications with high contamination levels. - Reduced noise and vibration levels
Where high requirements on noise and vibration levels are important, AMIGO can provide the appropriate shaft locking method for insert bearings (Y-bearings).
Insert bearings (Y-bearings) are the most widely used bearing types, suitable for various industries. Their availability matches their versatility across numerous applications in a wide range of designs, variants, and sizes. Examples of applications include:
- Agricultural
- Air handling
Insert Bearings (Y-Bearings) - Designs and Variants
Insert Bearings with Set Screws
Insert bearings with set screws provide a simple and effective locking mechanism. The set screws allow secure attachment to the shaft, preventing slippage. These bearings are often used in applications where ease of installation and repositioning are key considerations.
Insert Bearings with an Eccentric Locking Collar
Insert bearings with an eccentric locking collar offer enhanced holding strength by using an offset collar for locking. This design is ideal for applications where the bearing is subjected to vibrational loads or moderate misalignment. The collar ensures a strong, vibration-resistant connection to the shaft.
AMIGO UCX Medium Duty Insert Bearings
AMIGO UCX medium-duty insert bearings are designed for medium-load applications. These bearings feature a robust design with high radial load capacity, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. They come pre-lubricated and ready for installation, making them a reliable option for industrial use.
AMIGO ConCentra Insert Bearings
AMIGO ConCentra insert bearings are precision bearings that feature a concentric locking mechanism for easy and precise mounting. These bearings distribute load evenly across the shaft, reducing wear and ensuring long service life. Ideal for applications requiring low friction and consistent performance.
Insert Bearings with a Tapered Bore
Insert bearings with a tapered bore are designed for applications where precise shaft alignment and mounting are critical. The tapered bore allows for easy adjustment to the shaft size, ensuring a snug and secure fit. These bearings are commonly used in high-precision industrial machinery.
Insert Bearings with a Standard Inner Ring
Insert bearings with a standard inner ring provide a versatile and reliable solution for general-purpose applications. The inner ring is dimensionally standardized, making it easy to find replacements and compatible with a wide range of housing types. These bearings are suitable for low to moderate load applications.
