A Dodge VSC series insert bearing is a ball bearing unit built with an extended inner ring, made to sit inside split plummer block housings and split housings on power transmission equipment. It suits situations where the insert has to come out without pulling the housing apart or reworking the shaft. MR Industrial Accessories LLC offers this line among the bearings and accessories it supplies for industrial maintenance.

Reading the VSC code is straightforward once you know the layout. The letters mark the insert family; the digits after the hyphen give the bore in inches; the trailing letter is the insert configuration suffix. So INS-VSC-200L is a VSC insert for a 2-inch shaft. Change the suffix and you change the locking style or the sealing, not the basic bore.

Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens and packaging lines. Plants handling food, cement, aggregate and effluent treatment favor them because the split housing lets the assembly come down without cutting the shaft. Where washdown or fine dust is present, inspect the sealing before you replace the insert.

Selection comes down to three points: shaft diameter, locking method on the shaft, and sealing. A VSC insert mounts in a split plummer block housing with a spherical seat, so it should seat without hammering and the outer ring must stay free to oscillate. Grease goes in through the housing channel or the insert fitting, depending on the model. Before tightening the bolts, align the housing with a straightedge or dial indicator, then check radial clearance once mounted.

Cross-brand interchangeability rests on bore size, insert outer diameter and inner ring width. When those three match, two inserts from different makers can share one housing, though locking and sealing differ. Never swap in another brand's part number without checking the seat in the housing. Send the original part number and a photo of the assembly and we will point you to a compatible alternative.
