The FC-SCM housing with DODGE insert bearing is a piloted flange mounted unit that supports rotating shafts and handles moderate radial and axial loads. It provides a compact, self-aligning assembly that mounts easily to a structure. For replacements or new builds, send the part number and we will quote it.

Reading the code helps you order the right unit. FC stands for piloted flange. SCM is the insert bearing series. The number that follows, as in FC-SCM-25M or FC-SCM-40M, is the shaft diameter in millimeters. The trailing M indicates the sealing and locking variant. So FC-SCM-30M and FC-SCM-50M are the same series and flange type, differing only in shaft size.

These housings are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens and packaging lines. In agriculture they appear in seeders and harvesters; in food and beverage plants, in process and washing equipment; in metallurgical and cement operations, in fans and pumps. The piloted flange centers the unit and simplifies alignment, which matters when the shaft sees vibration or combined loads.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, load type and environment. The insert seal determines protection against dust, water or cleaning agents; for humid areas or frequent washdowns, choose a variant with greater sealing. Use the lubrication specified by the manufacturer and renew it according to the duty cycle. During mounting, ensure the flange seats flat and the shaft is free of burrs. Careful alignment extends bearing life and avoids parasitic stresses.

Piloted flange housings with insert bearings are offered by several brands under their own nomenclatures. The DODGE SCM series can be interchanged with other lines of similar dimensions, but before replacing a unit, compare shaft diameter, pilot diameter, hole spacing and locking type. Brands do not use the same letters for sealing or locking. Send us the original part number and we will indicate a compatible alternative.

To replace a housing or build equipment, message us on WhatsApp or email with the part number, such as FC-SCM-25M or FC-SCM-35M. We will quote promptly and help you choose the variant that fits your application. We also manufacture split plummer block housings, roller chains and sheaves, so we can support both standard replacement and specific needs.
