This DODGE VSC series unit is a mounted assembly made up of a square four-bolt flange housing and a ready-to-fit insert ball bearing, already aligned from the factory. It carries rotating shafts on flat surfaces, and because the flange spreads the load over four fixing points, it can be bolted straight onto sheet metal, cast iron or structural profiles without any machining. Maintenance crews choose it when a shaft needs firm support that is quick to swap out.
Reading the code takes a moment. F4B tells you it is a four-bolt flange housing, VSC covers the insert family and its seal style, the digits in the middle give the shaft diameter, and NL is the mounting variant. So F4B-VSC-008-NL, F4B-VSC-010-NL and F4B-VSC-012-NL differ only in shaft size, while F4B-VSC-100-NL, F4B-VSC-102-NL and F4B-VSC-103-NL follow the same pattern with other diameter combinations. Quote the full code exactly as it appears on the unit.
Typical duty includes conveyors, chain elevators, mixers, exhaust fans, screens and packaging lines, along with food, cement, aggregate and water treatment plants where dust, moisture or washdown are part of daily operation. Replacement is straightforward: the whole housing comes off and an equivalent goes on, with no work on the shaft or the frame.
Selection comes down to three checks: shaft diameter, how the insert locks onto the shaft, and the sealing the surroundings demand. Wet or fine-dust areas call for a tighter closure, and where axial load is present, verify clearance and the locking method. When mounting, seat the flange on a flat face, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern, confirm shaft alignment, then bring them to final torque. Regular greasing keeps the insert running.
Housings from different makers can often be swapped by shaft number, hole count and insert type, yet center distances and center height may differ, so compare the dimensional data sheet first. If the original code is not listed, we look for an alternative with matching mounting dimensions. Send the code or a photo of the nameplate by WhatsApp and we will quote the DODGE reference and point you to the equivalent if needed.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the code F4B-VSC-010-NL mean?
- F4B is the four-bolt flange, VSC the insert family and its sealing, the number the shaft diameter, and NL the mounting variant. Send the complete code and we will quote the exact reference.
- How do I pick the right size in the VSC series?
- Take the shaft diameter and the distance between the flange holes; those two figures define the size. If the code does not match the original, we search for a compatible alternative by mounting dimensions.
- Can a housing from another brand be replaced by a DODGE VSC one?
- Often yes, provided shaft diameter, number of holes and center distances line up. Compare the dimensional data sheet before mounting, and send us the measurements so we can confirm the equivalence.
