DodgeF2B-LT7-30MTwo-Bolt Flange Mounted Sleeve Bearing – 30 mm Bore, Graphite Self-Lubricating Insert, Cast Iron

Product Description

What this part is:

Dodge F2B-LT7-30M, Dodge item number 034262, is a two-bolt flange mounted sleeve bearing. Bearing Type: Mounted plain journal (sleeve) bearing. Housing Style: Two-bolt flange, solid (one-piece). Bore / Shaft Size: 30 mm. Housing Material: Cast iron. Finish: Powder coated. Insert Material: Graphite. Lubrication: Self-lubricated. Expansion Type: Expansion (float). Rolling Elements: Plain sliding sleeve.

Decoding the designation:

F2B — two-bolt flange housing, bolted flat to a vertical face with the shaft passing through it.

LT7 — the Dodge self-lubricating sleeve bearing series, in which a graphite-bearing insert supplies its own lubricant film in service.

30M — metric bore code, 30 mm shaft.

What these specs mean in practice:

A sleeve bearing carries load on a sliding film rather than on rolling elements, so it runs quietly and shrugs off shock loading and grit that would brinell a ball bearing raceway. The graphite insert releases lubricant as the shaft turns, which suits high-temperature service and shaft positions that a grease gun cannot reach on a maintenance round.

Housing style and bolt pattern:

Housing Style: Two-bolt flange, solid cast iron construction, powder coated. The two mounting holes sit either side of the bore on a single line, so the unit lands flat against a bulkhead, gearcase wall or conveyor end plate with the shaft running perpendicular to that face.

Fitting notes:

Expansion Type: Expansion (float). The shaft slides axially through the bore as it grows with temperature, so this position takes radial load while a fixed unit at the far end of the shaft holds axial location.

Quantity and configuration:

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc. Complete flange unit — cast iron housing with the graphite sleeve insert fitted.
