The flange Y bearing with DODGE VSC series 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 firm frontal mounting and simple installation are required, with the possibility of replacing the insert without disassembling the structure. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The VSC series designation 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 suffix VSC defines the housing and insert series, the letter M indicates the bearing-to-shaft locking system, and NL indicates that the insert is non-relubricable, that is, lubricated for its entire service life. The intermediate number, such as 20, 25 or 40, references the shaft size according to the series table.

These pillow blocks appear in belt conveyors, mixers, bucket elevators, blowers, centrifugal pumps and packaging lines. In Argentina they are seen in food plants, cement plants, tanneries, meat processing 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 onto sheet metal or profile structures with simple frontal alignment and dismounting the assembly without moving the shaft.

To select the pillow block, start from the shaft diameter you need and verify the hole spacing and 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 direction of rotation. 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 pillow blocks are interchanged between manufacturers by shaft number and housing type, not by complete code. A four-bolt flange pillow block from another brand with the same shaft size may be compatible, but the hole spacing, flange diameter and insert locking system must be compared. If the insert is worn, it is often advisable to replace only the bearing and keep the housing. Send us the code on the part or the shaft size via WhatsApp and at MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote you the pillow block or the compatible alternative.

The VSC series covers shaft sizes common in industry and is complemented by other lines of split and flange pillow blocks that MR Accesorios Industriales supplies. If your equipment operates with axial load, vibration or heavy contamination, tell us about the application and we will advise you on the most suitable sealing and locking type. With more than 80 years in the field, 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 pillow block?
Start from the shaft diameter of the equipment and then verify the hole spacing and the outer flange diameter against your structure. With those three data points we can quote you the correct pillow block 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 pillow block.
