The DODGE SC series insert bearing is a deep groove ball bearing unit with an extended inner ring, made to sit inside split and pillow block housings. It suits applications where the shaft turns and the bearing can be swapped out as a unit rather than pulling the machine apart, such as conveyors, fans, mixers and process equipment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps buyers match the right size to the job.

Reading an SC part number is straightforward once you know the pattern. The letters tell you the family and insert type, while the number after them gives the bore size, expressed in sixteenths of an inch on inch-series inserts. A suffix of S marks the reinforced insert seal, and HT marks the high-temperature version. So a reference like INS-SC-104S-HT packs series, size, sealing and temperature into one code. Send us the code you have and we will quote it.

These inserts turn up in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, exhaust fans, screens, mixers and packaging lines, as well as in food, cement, aggregate and wastewater treatment operations where dust and moisture are hard on standard bearings. Pairing the insert with a split housing means the unit can be replaced without disturbing the shaft or the surrounding structure, which matters on equipment that runs continuously.

Selection comes down to a few points: shaft diameter and tolerance, locking method (set screw, eccentric or adapter), seal type for the environment, and internal clearance if the application runs hot. At installation, seat the insert properly in the housing, line up both halves before tightening, and lubricate to suit the rotation regime. Misalignment and uneven tightening do more to shorten service life than anything else.

Extended inner ring insert series can be interchanged between manufacturers when shaft diameter, width, center height and locking type line up, though seal and temperature suffixes differ from one brand to the next. If you are replacing an existing unit, give us the number stamped on the insert or the shaft and housing dimensions, and we will point you to the matching option in the DODGE line or the equivalent that fits your setup.
