The DODGE FC-SCED is a piloted flange mounted unit that combines a circular flange with a ball insert bearing. The flange centers the assembly in a machined opening, which keeps alignment consistent and makes the bearing suitable for conveyors, mixers, blowers and other process equipment where the shaft must be held firmly to a metal frame.

The code is built in blocks. The letters FC-SCED identify the piloted flange bearing family with insert bearing, and the digits after the hyphen give the shaft diameter in millimeters. So FC-SCED-30M takes a 30 mm shaft, FC-SCED-40M a 40 mm shaft and FC-SCED-70M a 70 mm shaft. The trailing M marks the metric version. Reading the code this way tells you the shaft size right away.

You will find these units in food, beverage, cement, aggregates and water treatment operations, as well as on conveyor lines and packaging machinery. Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, horizontal mixers, centrifugal fans and machine tools. Because the pilot centers the bearing in a single hole, mounting on sheet metal is simpler and series assembly takes less time.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the load type: radial, axial or combined. Check that the flange holes match your structure and that the insert is rated for your equipment speed. At installation, clean the seat, lubricate the seal lip and tighten the screws in a cross pattern so the flange does not distort. In dusty or wet areas, pick the right sealing option and check lubrication on a regular schedule.

DODGE is a well-known name in mounted bearings, and MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its bearing range. When comparing alternatives from other brands, look at the series, shaft diameter, flange type and sealing, because two units can look alike but differ in insert locking or housing tolerance. Send us the original code and we will point you to a compatible option.

For an FC-SCED for your equipment, message us on WhatsApp with the code or model from the nameplate. We will quote promptly and help you confirm the shaft size and mounting. We can also advise on split plummer block housings, sheaves and chains if you are building a complete drive.
