The DODGE VSC series Y-bearing housing is a four-bolt flange mounted unit that supports rotating shafts on flat surfaces and handles the radial loads common in power transmission. It is used where rigid support, straightforward mounting and alignment adjustment are needed, making it a common sight in industrial maintenance.

The VSC code breaks down into sections: the letter F denotes the flange housing type, the following number gives the shaft diameter, and the MNL suffix indicates the sealing and locking variant of the insert. For instance, in F4B-VSC-17MNL, the 4B stands for the four-bolt flange and 17 for the shaft. Ordering with this full code removes guesswork: changing the number changes the shaft size, not the housing style.

These housings are found in belt and chain conveyors, mixers, screens, mills, centrifugal pumps, fans and packaging lines. They are selected for easy mounting on sheet metal or profiles and for the ability to replace the insert without dismantling the structure. They also appear in water treatment equipment and agricultural machinery, where conditions are tough.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, expected radial and axial load, and the contamination level. The insert seal determines how much dirt and moisture it withstands; in fine dust or frequent washdown areas, reinforced protection is recommended. During mounting, set the flange on a flat, clean surface, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern and verify shaft alignment before startup. Replenish lubrication according to the duty cycle.

For interchangeability, compare mounted bearings by shaft diameter, flange configuration, number of holes and insert locking type. Brands use different nomenclatures, so equivalence is based on cross-referencing these variables, not just the code. If a competitor's number does not match, send the dimensions and hole layout and we will point you to the compatible alternative from the VSC series.

To replace a Y-bearing housing, send the complete code via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories. With the model or the shaft and flange dimensions, we will provide a quote promptly. We can also review sealing and locking variants within the same family to suit your equipment.
