The DODGE D-Lok series Y-bearing housing with insert bearing is a mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, designed to support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. It is used in conveyors, belts, elevators and machinery in general, where a compact, alignable unit that is easy to mount on structure is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this DODGE line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct variant for your application.

The WSTU-DL designation is read in blocks: WSTU identifies the Y-type housing with insert bearing and set screw locking, and DL corresponds to the D-Lok series, which defines the locking system of the inner ring onto the shaft. The number that follows — as in WSTU-DL-20M, WSTU-DL-30M or WSTU-DL-45M — indicates the nominal shaft diameter in millimeters. The M suffix indicates the metric system. Thus, each code in the series is built from the housing prefix, the locking series and the shaft size.

These housings are found in food and beverage plants, material handling, steelmaking, cement and aggregate processing. In Argentina they are found in conveyor belts, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, dryers and packaging lines. The cast iron housing with a flat base and mounting holes allows it to be fastened to profiles or beds, and the double-sealed insert retains lubrication and blocks the entry of dust and water, which is key in environments with washdown or particulate material.

To select correctly, start from the shaft diameter you need and the type of load: predominantly radial in horizontal conveyors, with a moderate axial component in inclined shafts or screws. Check the alignment between housings and the concentricity of the beds; a slight misalignment is absorbed by the insert, but it is best to correct it during mounting. The D-Lok series is locked with set screws on the inner ring, so tighten with a torque wrench and use threadlocker. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and check the sealing if there is frequent washdown or vibration.

As for interchangeability, Y-bearing housings with insert bearing are selected by the combination of shaft diameter, housing type and locking system. Between brands, the same shaft diameter can vary in base height, hole spacing and sealing type, so it is best to compare those dimensions before replacing. The D-Lok series from DODGE has its own locking geometry; if you are coming from another brand, send us the old part number and the mounting dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the DODGE line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in bearings and power transmission. If you already have the part number — for example WSTU-DL-25M or WSTU-DL-50M — or you need a variant you do not see, send it by WhatsApp along with the shaft diameter and the working conditions. We will quote it and indicate the option that best fits your equipment, shortly.
