This mounted unit pairs a DODGE SC series insert ball bearing with a cast iron flange bracket, giving you a 3-bolt flange assembly for supporting rotating shafts. It suits power transmission setups where shaft alignment and sealing need attention, and it mounts directly to walls or steel structures to keep in-plant maintenance straightforward.

Reading the code helps you order the right replacement. FB stands for the flange configuration, SC is the unit series, and the digits that follow give the shaft diameter. The S suffix tells you which seal type is fitted, while NL points to a housing variant. So FB-SC-104S-NL describes a 3-bolt flange unit built around an SC series insert bearing with that particular sealing and housing setup. Once you know how the blocks break down, matching an existing unit becomes much easier.

You will find these units on conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, and agricultural or food processing machinery. Plants handling food, cement, mining, and aggregates rely on them because the working environment calls for protection against dust and moisture. The cast iron housing together with the ball insert carries radial loads and takes some axial thrust, and the 3-bolt flange layout keeps installation simple on walls or steel structures.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, the radial and axial load the application imposes, and the conditions on site. The S seal is what keeps contaminants out, so confirm it matches your dust, water, or washdown exposure. Leave internal clearance and lubrication as they came from the factory and do not alter them. When mounting, line the flange up with the structure and tighten the bolts evenly to prevent deformation. Getting the alignment right pays off in bearing life.

Mounted units like this one can be swapped between brands when the flange dimensions, shaft diameter, and insert type line up. Not every series is equivalent, though, so review the drawings and dimensions before you replace anything. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies DODGE as one of its brands and can point you to a compatible alternative when you need a different configuration. What decides interchangeability is the dimensional data, not the part number alone.

If you need a Y-bearing bracket with an insert bearing for your equipment, send the part number or model over WhatsApp or email. MR Industrial Accessories LLC will quote it promptly and help you confirm the unit fits your application, including checking whether a different seal or flange configuration would serve you better.
