The Dodge SXR insert bearing is a ball bearing with an extended inner ring, made to fit split plummer block housings and wall units. It comes into play when you need to swap out the insert while keeping the housing, or when building equipment that uses split housings. Set screws lock the shaft in place, and the design accommodates minor misalignment.

The SXR series code is built into the full part number. For instance, INS-SXR-17M is an SXR insert for a 17 mm shaft, INS-SXR-20M for a 20 mm shaft, and so on, with the number always indicating shaft diameter in millimeters. The trailing M confirms metric bore dimensions. The INS prefix denotes the insert family. In these part numbers, the middle digits refer to the shaft size, not the bearing's outside diameter.

You will find these inserts in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, packaging lines, and process equipment across food, chemical, and aggregate plants. Split plummer block housings let you pull the shaft without tearing down the entire line, which is why they are common in oilseed, meatpacking, and cement operations. They also show up in road machinery and material handling equipment. The SXR series covers the most frequently used shaft diameters in these settings.

When selecting an insert, consider shaft diameter, housing type, and sealing needs. The SXR series fits split plummer block housings that match its outside diameter and width. Make sure the housing bore is clean and free of burrs, and tighten the inner ring set screws onto the shaft with the correct wrench. Factory lubrication is typically enough for normal conditions; for dusty or humid environments, pick the version with reinforced seals. Verify alignment between housings before final tightening.

Dodge SXR inserts can be interchanged with other brands that use the same shaft diameter nomenclature and housing dimensions. An insert with equivalent dimensions from another line can replace it, provided the shaft diameter, overall width, and locking system match. Send us your part number and we will point you to a compatible alternative. Brand is not the deciding factor—size and housing type are what matter.

To replace an SXR insert, send the complete part number by WhatsApp. For example, INS-SXR-25M or INS-SXR-40M. We will quote it promptly and confirm an alternative if needed. We can also help you choose the split plummer block housing or the complete unit. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the Dodge brand and manufactures split plummer block housings, roller chains, and sheaves to complete your equipment.
