The DODGE GT series flange Y-bearing unit with insert bearing is a four-bolt mounted assembly that combines a cast iron housing with a self-aligning ball bearing. It is used to support rotating shafts on flat structures, with the particular feature that the insert is fixed to the shaft by means of a Grip Tight locking cone, which simplifies mounting and reduces the risk of loosening. It is a robust solution for power transmission in industrial plants.
The GT series designation is read in parts: the letter F indicates a four-bolt flange, the number following B corresponds to the nominal shaft diameter in sixteenths of an inch, and the M suffix indicates the sealing type. Thus, a code such as F4B-GT-20M is a flange housing for a 20/16 inch shaft, that is 1 1/4", with M sealing. The series codes cover a wide range of sizes. The GT abbreviation refers to the Grip Tight cone locking system.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment in the food, chemical, cement and aggregate industries. In Argentina they are common in balanced feed plants, aggregate processing plants and packaging lines, where the four-bolt flange allows mounting on sheet metal or structure without the need to machine a cylindrical seat.
To select the housing, verify the shaft diameter and the load type: the GT series accepts moderate radial and axial loads. Mounting with the Grip Tight cone requires cleaning the shaft, placing the insert and tightening the locking screws alternately and with a torque wrench. Factory lubrication is usually sufficient for long periods; in wet or dusty environments, choose the appropriate sealing and check alignment to avoid stress on the bearing.
DODGE GT series housings are interchangeable with other brands of four-bolt flange housings with locking cone insert, as long as the flange dimensions, shaft diameter and locking type match. When requesting a quote, indicate the complete code and, if possible, the flange and shaft dimensions to ensure compatibility. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line with technical advice.
