The DODGE SCED series is a mounted pillow block that pairs a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, designed to be bolted directly to a machine frame. It supports rotating shafts where alignment is straightforward, lubrication is retained and the bearing needs protection from dust and moisture. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers throughout the United States and Latin America, and can assist with selecting the right unit for your shaft and operating conditions.

The SCED code breaks down into useful pieces. The letters indicate the pillow block family with insert bearing, while the number following the hyphen gives the shaft diameter in millimeters. For example, TB-SCED-20M fits a 20 mm shaft, TB-SCED-30M fits a 30 mm shaft and TB-SCED-55M fits a 55 mm shaft. The trailing M denotes the metric version. That single code covers the complete assembly: housing, insert, seal and shaft locking mechanism.

You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, blowers, centrifugal pumps and packaging lines. The cast iron housing takes radial loads and a degree of axial thrust, while the ball insert handles moderate speeds with infrequent attention. They are a practical choice when a shaft needs intermediate support and the structure has no machined housing bore.

Begin your selection with shaft diameter and load direction: mostly radial, with some axial. Make sure the base sits flat and the anchor bolts are tightened to prevent vibration. The insert seal determines where the unit can work; in coarse dust or wet areas, extra protection is worth considering. Lubrication is applied at the factory and renewed through the grease fitting, following the interval set by your service hours. Align the shaft with the neighboring support before tightening so the insert is not side-loaded.

DODGE nomenclature exists alongside that of other mounted bearing brands. When evaluating alternatives, look beyond the code: compare shaft diameter, housing style, locking method and seal design. A direct equivalent often exists, but interchangeability also depends on base and insert dimensions. If you are replacing an existing pillow block, send the code stamped on the housing or the shaft size and we will point you to a compatible option.
