An extended inner ring ball bearing built to sit inside split plummer block housings and wall units, the DODGE SC series insert is the part you swap when the bearing itself has reached the end of its run but the housing is still sound. It also simplifies assembly on equipment that was designed around a split housing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and in several Latin American countries.

Reading the code takes a moment. The first block, INS, tells you the item is an insert; SC names the series; the trailing digits set the size. Small sizes run through codes such as INS-SCS-008, INS-SCS-010 and INS-SCS-012, while INS-SCS-100, INS-SCS-101 and INS-SCS-102 sit at the upper end. That final number is not a bore measurement in millimeters or inches. It is a reference you match against the SC series table to find the shaft it fits, so the safest way to order is to copy the full code exactly as it appears on the housing or its nameplate.

You will find these inserts on conveyors, belt systems, elevators, mixers, fans and general process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate operations. Packaging lines, mills and water treatment plants are also common homes for them. Because the SC series is so widely used in split plummer block housings, keeping the same series in a piece of equipment preserves interchangeability from one replacement to the next.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, locking method (set screws or eccentric collar) and the sealing the surroundings demand. Dusty or wet areas call for a tighter seal, while a clean, dry installation does fine with a standard one. During mounting, confirm the housing bore is clean and free of burrs and that the insert seats without being struck. The lubrication applied at the factory covers start-up; after that, follow the greasing schedule set for the equipment.

Replacing an insert from another brand is often possible, since the SC series tends to interchange with equivalent insert bearing lines when housing dimensions and shaft diameter line up. A similar-looking code is not enough on its own: check the inner ring width and the locking arrangement before committing. Send the code or model you are working from and our team will point you to the matching option.
