The DODGE VSC series flange Y-bearing unit with insert bearing is a four-bolt mounted assembly that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, already aligned and lubricated at the factory. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where a firm front mounting and simple assembly are required, with the possibility of replacing the insert without dismantling the structure. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The designation of the VSC series is read in blocks: the letter F indicates the flange housing type, the number that follows (4, in the examples F4B-VSC-20M-NL) corresponds to the number of mounting holes, and B identifies the mounting variant. The VSC suffix defines the housing and insert series, the letter M indicates the bearing-to-shaft locking system, and NL indicates that the insert comes without relubrication, that is, lubricated for its entire service life. The middle number, such as 20, 25 or 40, references the shaft size according to the series table.
These units appear in belt conveyors, mixers, bucket elevators, blowers, centrifugal pumps and packaging lines. In Argentina they are seen in food plants, cement plants, tanneries, cold storage plants and in the agro-industrial sector, where a humid or dusty environment demands a robust housing and reliable sealing. The four-bolt flange allows mounting on sheet metal or profile structures with simple front alignment and removing the assembly without moving the shaft.
To select the unit, start from the shaft diameter you need and verify the bolt hole spacing and the flange diameter against your structure. The VSC series is offered with an insert locked by set screws or by eccentric collar, depending on the load and rotation direction. During mounting, seat the flange flat, tighten the bolts in a cross pattern and check shaft alignment with a straightedge or dial indicator. The insert sealing and the lifetime lubrication of the NL suffix simplify maintenance in hard-to-reach areas.
Mounted units are interchanged between manufacturers by shaft size and housing type, not by complete code. A four-bolt flange unit from another brand with the same shaft size may be compatible, but you must compare the bolt hole spacing, the flange diameter and the insert locking system. If the insert is worn, it is often better to replace only the bearing and keep the housing. Send us the code on the part or the shaft size on WhatsApp and at MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote you the unit.
The VSC series covers shaft sizes common in industry and is complemented by other lines of split plummer block and flange units that MR Accesorios Industriales sells. If your equipment works with axial load, vibration or heavy dirt, tell us about the application and we will guide you on sealing and the most suitable locking type. At MR we know how these mountings behave in plant and we help you choose the assembly that best suits your shaft and your structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the NL suffix mean in the VSC series?
- The NL suffix indicates that the insert bearing is lubricated for life, with no need for periodic relubrication. It is a practical option for hard-to-reach equipment or for applications where scheduled maintenance is limited.
- How do I choose the size of the flange unit?
- Start from the shaft diameter of the equipment and then verify the bolt hole spacing and the outer diameter of the flange against your structure. With those three data points we can quote you the correct unit or suggest a compatible alternative.
- Can only the insert bearing be replaced?
- Yes. When the cast iron housing is in good condition, only the insert is replaced with one of the same series and shaft size. It is a common repair and more economical than replacing the complete unit.
