The DODGE WS series Y-bearing insert pillow block is a mounted unit ready to be fixed to the structure and receive the shaft. It integrates an insert bearing with a spherical outer ring that seats in the housing and allows slight misalignment, which simplifies installation and absorbs small alignment errors. It is used in transmission and conveying equipment where firm support and smooth rotation are required.

The WS series designation is read as a size code: the letters identify the family and the numbers that follow indicate the size of the assembly. The different part numbers cover different shaft diameters and capacities. Each part number refers to a specific combination of housing and insert bearing, and may include sealing or locking variants depending on the suffix. To choose the right one, provide the complete part number shown on the nameplate or drawing.

These pillow blocks are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate plants. In Argentina they are common in the oilseed, meatpacking and cement industries, where dust, humidity or washdown require robust units. The D-Lok series and the SXV line from DODGE cover mountings with eccentric locking or set screws, adapting to shafts with different axial fixing requirements.

To select, verify the shaft diameter, radial load and rotation speed. Check the sealing type: labyrinth for dirty environments, single lip seal for clean service. Internal clearance and lubrication are already set at the factory; do not modify them. During installation, support the housing on a flat, rigid surface, align the shaft with the bearing and tighten the fixing screws evenly. Careful alignment extends the life of the insert and reduces vibration.

DODGE mounted units are interchangeable with other brands under equivalent standards, as long as the shaft diameter, the distance between fixing centers and the locking type match. There is no universal table: equivalence is established by comparing dimensions and load capacity. If you need to replace an existing unit, send the original part number or the main dimensions and at MR Accesorios Industriales we will indicate the compatible alternative.

MR Accesorios Industriales sells the DODGE brand as part of its line of pillow blocks and bearings. If you have doubts about which unit fits your equipment, write to us on WhatsApp with the WS part number shown on the part or with the shaft dimensions and the distance between holes. We will quote it promptly and advise you so that the unit is installed without setbacks.
