This piloted flange Y-bearing unit combines a cast iron housing with a factory-lubricated, sealed insert ball bearing from the DODGE ER-Series. It supports rotating shafts in equipment that needs frontal mounting with pilot centering, so the shaft can be aligned to the structure without machining complex seats.

The code on these units breaks down into segments. F stands for the flange housing. The following number gives the housing size or series. BZ denotes the two-hole piloted flange version. DL refers to the seal type or insert design. The final number with M is the shaft diameter in millimeters. That means a different final number points to the same unit for another shaft size, and the ER-Series covers the ball inserts that fit these housings.

Typical applications include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens, blowers and packaging lines. They show up in food, cement, chemical and meatpacking plants and in the agro-industrial sector, where dust, humidity or frequent washdowns are common. The piloted flange mounts on sheet metal or cast iron with four fastening points and holds the shaft perpendicular to the mounting face, which helps when space is tight or when the assembly must come out without disturbing the structure.

When selecting, consider shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined) and the operating environment. The insert seal sets how much contamination the unit can handle: in wet or dusty areas, a reinforced seal is advisable, and where washdowns occur, an additional cover helps. Lubrication is applied at the factory, but in service it should be checked based on running hours and temperature. For mounting, the flange must sit flat, bolts should be tightened in a cross pattern, and shaft alignment should be verified before start-up.

Insert bearing units interchange between brands by dimensional equivalence: shaft diameter, hole spacing, pilot diameter and flange height determine whether one assembly replaces another. Matching shaft diameter alone is not enough; the housing and insert must also correspond. You can identify the unit by those dimensions or by the equipment model. MR Industrial Accessories will point you to the compatible alternative among the brands it supplies.

To replace a flange unit with insert bearing, send the part number on the part or the equipment model via WhatsApp or email. With that information we will quote the corresponding DODGE ER-Series unit or suggest a compatible alternative, and help you choose. You can also ask about other sizes in the same series or about split plummer block housings.
