The FC-SXV is a piloted flange mounted bearing unit built around a ball insert from the DODGE SXV series. It supports rotating shafts where the housing is fixed frontally to a plate or frame and centered by its pilot, so the assembly can be mounted or removed without taking the machine apart. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers throughout the United States and in Latin America, and can help you match the right variant to your application.

Reading the code is the quickest way to identify the unit. FC stands for the housing type, a four-bolt piloted flange. SXV points to the insert series and defines its sealing and shaft locking characteristics. The trailing number gives the shaft diameter the assembly is made for, as in FC-SXV-30M or FC-SXV-45M, and the M suffix marks the mounting variant inside the same series. Type, series and size together identify the housing without ambiguity.

Typical installations include belt and chain conveyors, elevators, mixers, mills, screens and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants, as well as packaging lines, waste treatment plants and material handling systems. In these duties the drive shaft carries moderate radial load and needs compact support. Because the pilot centers the unit in its bore, initial alignment and later replacement are straightforward.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the nature of the load; the SXV series handles radial forces together with some axial load. Then match the insert sealing to the environment: dusty or wet areas call for more closed protection, while clean surroundings are served by standard sealing. At mounting, seat the flange on a flat, clean surface, center the pilot in its housing and tighten the bolts in a cross pattern. Lubricate the insert for the operating regime and verify shaft alignment so the bearing is not overloaded.

Piloted flange units are offered by several brands under their own nomenclatures. For a replacement, compare shaft diameter, distance between holes, pilot diameter and shaft locking type; those measurements establish functional equivalence. If the original housing carries a different designation, respect the mounting dimensions and the sealing system. Where a part number falls outside the SXV series, our team can point you to a compatible alternative.

Send the housing part number by WhatsApp or email and our team will reply promptly with a quote. If the mounted unit has no identification, share the main measurements, such as shaft diameter, distance between holes and pilot diameter, and we will help you locate the corresponding variant. We can also review options within the same family when your application calls for a different locking or sealing arrangement.
