A DODGE WS series pillow block arrives as a complete mounted unit: an insert bearing with a spherical outer ring sits inside the housing, so the assembly can be bolted to the frame and take the shaft in one step. That spherical seat tolerates small alignment errors during fitting, which keeps installation simple. Typical duty is transmission and conveying equipment that needs steady support and quiet rotation.
Read the code from left to right: WS marks the family of Y-bearing insert pillow blocks, and the digits after it define the size of the assembly. Every part number pairs one housing with one insert bearing, and a suffix may indicate a particular sealing or locking arrangement. Sizes differ in shaft diameter and capacity. The safest way to order is to copy the full number from the nameplate or the drawing, since partial references can point to a different combination.
You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate plants, including dusty, humid or washdown areas. DODGE also offers the D-Lok and SXV mountings, which differ in how the insert grips the shaft: eccentric locking on one, set screws on the other. Match that locking method to the axial fixing your shaft needs.
Before selecting, confirm three things: shaft diameter, radial load and rotation speed. Then decide on sealing, choosing a labyrinth option for dirty surroundings or a single lip seal for clean service. Clearance and grease fill come set from the factory, so leave them as they are. Bolt the housing down on a flat, rigid surface, bring the shaft into line with the bearing and tighten the fixing screws evenly; good alignment cuts vibration and extends insert life.
DODGE mounted units can stand in for other brands when the shaft diameter, the hole spacing and the locking type line up. No universal cross-reference table exists, so equivalence comes from comparing dimensions and load capacity case by case. If you are replacing a unit already in service, send the original part number or the key dimensions and our team will identify the compatible alternative. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies DODGE within its pillow block and bearing range; message us on WhatsApp or by email with the WS reference, or with your shaft size and hole spacing, and we will quote it and help you confirm the fit.

Frequently asked questions
- What does WS mean in a DODGE pillow block part number?
- WS is the family code for Y-bearing insert pillow blocks. The digits that follow set the size and configuration, so each part number matches a particular shaft size. Send the complete reference or your shaft dimensions and we will confirm which one applies.
- How do I decide between a D-Lok and an SXV pillow block?
- It comes down to how the insert locks onto the shaft and where the unit works. D-Lok locks with an eccentric collar, SXV uses set screws. Load, speed and sealing also matter. Share those details and we will point you to the right variant.
- Can a DODGE unit replace a pillow block from another brand?
- Often yes, provided the shaft diameter, the distance between fixing centers and the locking method are the same. Since no universal equivalence table exists, the match is verified by comparing dimensions and load capacity. Send your measurements or the original part number and we will help define it.
