Insert bearings

General information

Y bearings are used as part of bearing units. A bearing housing and a Y bearing form a bearing unit. Y-bearings are not used by themselves, only as part of bearing units. We usually buy a separate Y-bearing when the bearing in our bearing unit has failed, but the bearing housing can still be used.

The letter Y of the bearings refers to the design of the bearing (shape, shaft fixing). The Y bearing number refers to the nominal shaft size.
