DODGE F3B-SLX-014 flange bearing 3 holes

DODGE F3B-SLX-014 belongs to flange bearing 3 holes, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for F3B-SLX-014 and any equivalents.

The DODGE SLX series covers 3-bolt flange mounted Y-units. A cast flange carries an insert ball bearing, so the shaft is supported directly on a flat mounting surface rather than on a pillow block. The design suits equipment where the bearing must be compact, self-aligning and quick to swap out as a complete assembly. Three bolts hold the housing in place, and the insert accepts radial loads from transmission drives.

The part number breaks down into three blocks. The F tells you it is a 3-bolt flange housing. The digits after the hyphen give the shaft size. SLX identifies the insert series. That is why F3B-SLX-012 and F3B-SLX-014 sit at the small end of the range, while F3B-SLX-100, F3B-SLX-102 and F3B-SLX-106 cover the larger sizes in the same family. When you request a quote, the full code is what pins down both the bore and the sealing variant.

You will find these units on conveyors, belt drives, elevators, mixers, blowers and packaging machinery. They often carry drum shafts, discharge rollers and fan shafts, because the 3-bolt flange bolts straight to sheet metal or structural steel. Since it is a mounted unit, the whole assembly comes off without pulling the bearing apart, which keeps maintenance stops short in dusty or damp areas.

Selection comes down to three checks: shaft diameter, insert locking method (set screw or eccentric collar) and seal type. For dirty or washdown conditions, a contact seal that holds grease in and keeps contamination out is the better choice. At installation, seat the flange on a flat surface, draw the three bolts down evenly and confirm shaft alignment before adding lubricant. Even with a self-aligning housing, a misaligned shaft will cut insert life.

Flange units interchange between brands by shaft diameter and housing style, never by part number. Every maker has its own naming system and bolt hole layout. To replace an existing unit, give us the complete part number and, when you have it, the shaft diameter and the bolt hole circle diameter of the flange. We will point you to the compatible option in the DODGE line or another brand we carry.
