Dodge large-bore pillow block bearings

Dodge has developed a range of large-bore pillow block bearings, initially with SAF dimensions, that feature integral hydraulically assisted, adapter-mounted installation and removal systems.

These bearings are designed to reduce the total cost of ownership, and are factory assembled, sealed and lubricated. The entire inner units are replaceable, meaning that another factory-assembled, sealed and lubricated unit can be installed having never been subjected to environmental contamination. The range covers sizes from 150 to 400 mm.

A major cause of bearing failure is contamination, either during installation or in service (especially when under misalignment conditions). The Dodge Hydraulic ISAF solution has a double seal that is effective even under misalignment conditions. The inner unit has a triple-lip seal and the housing has a grease-purged labyrinth design or optional closed end cover.
