The DODGE FC-DLM is a piloted flange mounted bearing unit that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing. The circular flange and pilot allow the assembly to be centered in a machined bore, which aids alignment and concentricity. It is commonly used in conveyors, agitators, blowers and other process equipment where a compact front mounting is needed.

The part number breaks down into three elements: FC for the piloted flange style, DLM for the housing and insert series, and a final number for the size. For instance, FC-DLM-100, FC-DLM-103 and FC-DLM-107 are different sizes in the same family. The suffix does not alter the mounting type; it only sets the shaft diameter and flange dimensions. When selecting, start with the shaft diameter and the hole pattern of your equipment.

These units are found in food, beverage, cement and aggregate processing, particularly on belt and screw conveyors. They also appear in mixers, centrifugal fans and process pumps. The piloted flange provides a more precise fit than a conventional pillow block when mounted on sheet metal or cast iron.

To select the correct unit, confirm the shaft diameter, the distance between flange holes and the pilot diameter. The insert typically has a contact seal that retains grease and keeps dust out; for water or pressure washdown, extra protection is recommended. Use general-purpose lithium grease and avoid overfilling. During installation, seat the pilot in the machined housing, tighten the flange bolts in a cross pattern, and secure the insert to the shaft with the set screws. Check that the shaft turns freely without axial play.

Mounted housings are interchanged by shaft number and flange configuration rather than by manufacturer part number. A DODGE FC-DLM can be replaced by an equivalent from another brand if the shaft diameter, pilot and hole pattern match. Series with the same letters often share mounting dimensions, but always verify with the technical data sheet. For an alternative, we can suggest a compatible option.
