This DODGE unit arrives ready to bolt on: a ball bearing insert seated in a housing, made for supporting and tensioning drive shafts. Conveyors, belt drives and similar equipment use it where space is tight and alignment has to be straightforward. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the right variant to your shaft size and mounting arrangement.

Reading the code takes a moment but pays off. The block NSTU-SCMED- identifies the unit type together with its housing, while the trailing digits give the shaft diameter, expressed in hundredths of an inch or in millimeters depending on which variant you have. So NSTU-SCMED-100 fits a 1 inch shaft, NSTU-SCMED-103 fits 1 3/16", NSTU-SCMED-107 fits 1 7/16" and NSTU-SCMED-200 fits 2 inches. The SCED and SCMED suffixes tell you how the seal and the insert are set up. Confirm the whole code before you ask for a quote.

Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate operations, plus road and agricultural machinery that relies on a tensioner housing to keep belt or chain tension in check. Dusty or damp surroundings are the norm in many of these plants, which is why the sealing arrangement matters as much as the bore size.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, the nature of the load (radial, axial or a combination) and what the environment throws at the unit. The insert seal determines how well dust and moisture are kept out, so if washdowns are frequent or particles are in the air, pick the variant that matches. When mounting, line the housing up with the shaft and verify the bearing internal clearance. Many units in this series are lubricated for life, though harsh duty may call for relubrication at intervals.

These mounted units interchange with other brands of Y-bearing housings with insert that share the same shaft dimensions and distance between mounting centers. For a quote, compare the complete code along with the critical dimensions: shaft diameter, housing height and mounting type.
