The DODGE SL series Y-bearing with insert is a foot-mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, already assembled and aligned at the factory. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where a compact, easy-to-mount solution with self-aligning capability is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line to plants and workshops across the country.

The SL series designation is read in blocks: the initial letter P identifies the foot-mounted housing type, the number that follows indicates the insert bearing size, and the letters BSL correspond to the construction series. The final suffix M indicates the sealing and locking variant of the insert. An example from the line is P2BSL-17M, where the 2 refers to the housing size and the 17 to the shaft size. With that complete part number, each unit is identified unambiguously.

These housings appear in belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and food and beverage processing lines. In Argentina they are commonly seen in meat processing plants, flour mills, plastics factories and aggregate processing facilities. They are also chosen for equipment where the shaft operates with slight misalignment and a unit is needed to absorb those differences without requiring precision machining of the frame.

To select the housing, it is best to start from the shaft diameter and the type of load: predominantly radial in most applications, with moderate axial thrust. Check the sealing according to the environment: in areas with dust, water or frequent washdown, more enclosed protection is required. During mounting, rest the base on a flat, rigid surface, tighten the bolts one at a time and verify that the shaft turns freely. The insert is lubricated at the factory and grease is replenished according to the duty cycle.

Regarding interchangeability, mounted units are compared by shaft diameter, center height and housing type, rather than by each manufacturer's part number. Different brands use their own nomenclature for the same size, so the equivalence is resolved by cross-referencing those three variables. If the equipment has a unit already installed, the most direct approach is to take the part number stamped on the housing or on the insert and compare it with the SL series.

If you need to replace a unit or assemble new equipment, send the part number on the housing, the shaft diameter or a photo of the part by WhatsApp. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote the DODGE SL series reference or indicate the alternative compatible with your mounting. We also manufacture split plummer block housings and custom parts for special cases.
