The DODGE D-Lok Y-bearing housing with insert bearing is a mounted unit that pairs a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing. It supports rotating shafts in power transmission equipment such as conveyors, elevators, and general machinery where a compact, alignable unit is needed. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this DODGE series and can help you choose the right variant for your application.

The WSTU-DL code breaks down into three parts. WSTU identifies the Y-type housing with insert bearing and set screw locking. DL stands for the D-Lok series, which defines how the inner ring locks onto the shaft. The number that follows, such as in WSTU-DL-20M, WSTU-DL-30M, or WSTU-DL-45M, is the nominal shaft diameter in millimeters. The M suffix indicates metric dimensions.

These units suit food and beverage plants, material handling, steel, cement, and aggregate processing. Typical applications include conveyor belts, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, dryers, and packaging lines. The cast iron housing has a flat base with mounting holes for fastening to profiles or beds. The double-sealed insert retains lubrication and keeps out dust and water, which matters in washdown or dusty environments.

To select the right unit, start with your shaft diameter and load type: mostly radial in horizontal conveyors, with some axial load in inclined shafts or screws. Check alignment between housings and bed flatness. A slight misalignment is absorbed by the insert, but correct it during mounting. The D-Lok series locks with set screws on the inner ring, so use a torque wrench and threadlocker. Lubricate based on duty cycle and inspect seals if washdown or vibration is frequent.

When replacing a Y-bearing housing from another brand, compare shaft diameter, housing type, and locking system. Base height, hole spacing, and sealing can differ even for the same shaft size. The D-Lok series has its own locking geometry. If you have an old part number and mounting dimensions, send them to us and we will suggest a compatible alternative.
