Fluent Conveyors supplies genuine Dodge spherical bearings for general replacement and retrofit applications. Shop bearings with spherical inserts for self-alignment and heavy radial loads.
Specifications vary by series and shaft size. Contact our team for detailed dimensions and load ratings.
Fluent Conveyors is an authorized Dodge Industrial dealer, providing factory-assembled spherical roller bearings engineered for demanding conveyor applications. Dodge spherical bearings combine self-aligning capabilities with advanced sealing technologies for reliable performance.
Since 1878, Dodge has engineered and manufactured bearings, drives, and other conveyor components to withstand the most demanding industrial environments.

movement meets strength.
We provide access to the Dodge catalog of spherical bearings, each factory-assembled, pre-lubricated, and shaft-ready out of the box.
Flange bearings mount vertically against walls, frames, or other surfaces with the shaft extending perpendicular to the mounting plane. Available in multiple bolt configurations to match your mounting requirements:
2-bolt flange bearings: Compact design for light to medium loads
3-bolt flange bearings: Increased stability for moderate loads
4-bolt flange bearings: Maximum strength for heavy-duty applications



Dodge bearings are manufactured in the USA at ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities. Fluent guarantees consistent quality and fast lead times for OEM replacement bearings.
Shaft diameter, load requirements, mounting surface dimensions, conveyor speed, and environmental conditions determine which spherical bearing will work best. To find an appropriate spherical bearing unit, follow these steps:
Dodge offers one of the industry's broadest spherical bearing size ranges across multiple housing styles, so you can find an exact match for your conveyor mounting application.

Spherical inserts use barrel-shaped rollers that provide exceptional radial load capacity and self-alignment capability. They maintain performance in conveyor applications where misalignment occurs.

Ball bearing inserts have higher speed ratings and lower friction through point contact but can carry less load. Tapered roller inserts tolerate combined radial and thrust loads when aligned but can’t self-align like spherical designs.

For conveyor systems handling substantial loads with potential shaft misalignment, spherical inserts are more reliable and long-lasting than ball or tapered roller bearings.

Dodge spherical bearings offer measurable advantages that improve your conveyor's performance and lifespan:


Fluent Conveyors designs and manufactures custom conveyors for agriculture, recycling, aerospace, and other demanding industries. When you source from Fluent, you're working with a team that understands load distribution, misalignment tolerance, and sealing requirements from hands-on conveyor work.
