When a drive shaft runs a long distance without a continuous frame beneath it, a hanger unit gives that shaft a support point. The DODGE D-Lok SCHB-DL is a mounted bearing with a split housing that hangs from a threaded rod or a fixed bracket and keeps the shaft turning in line. Conveyors, elevators and process lines with wide spacing between supports are typical places to find it. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this DODGE line to customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.

Reading the code takes only a moment. SCHB stands for the hanger assembly with an insert bearing, DL marks the D-Lok series, and the trailing digits give the nominal shaft size in hundredths of an inch: SCHB-DL-100 fits a 1" shaft, SCHB-DL-102 fits 1 1/8", SCHB-DL-103 fits 1 3/16" and SCHB-DL-104 fits 1 1/4". Sizes SCHB-DL-106, SCHB-DL-107, SCHB-DL-108 and SCHB-DL-111 round out the series. An eccentric collar on the D-Lok insert grips the shaft as it turns, which is how the bearing stays locked in place.

These units show up in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, screw augers, mixers and packaging lines. They are the answer when a shaft needs a mid-span support that cannot sit on the floor or on the side frame, such as on long equipment or in spots that are awkward to reach. Food processing, cement, aggregate and waste treatment plants also use them, since the mounting is robust and upkeep is straightforward.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter, then moves to the radial load the hanger point will carry. The D-Lok insert uses a contact seal that holds grease in and keeps dust and moisture out. In dirty areas or where washdowns are frequent, inspect the seal and relubricate according to the duty cycle. During installation, line the unit up with the shaft, tighten the collar in the direction of rotation, and confirm the housing can still oscillate. Misalignment speeds up wear on both the insert and the seal.

DODGE D-Lok hanger units are often interchangeable with insert mounted bearings from SKF, NSK, NTN or Timken when shaft diameter, locking method and housing dimensions line up. A similar code is not enough on its own: compare the shaft size, the locking system and the distance between mounting centers.
