DodgeLFT-DL-104 052535Two-Bolt Light Duty Flange Mount Bearing Unit, 1-1/4″ Bore, 207 Series, D-Lok Concentric Clamp Collar, Non-Expansion

Product Description

What this part is

A complete Dodge mounted ball bearing unit in the LFT light duty flange series — a two-bolt flange housing with a 207 series wide-inner-ring insert already fitted. Bore is 1-1/4 in. Shaft locking is by D-LOK concentric clamp collar, and the unit is non-expansion, so the bearing holds the shaft axially in both directions.

Housing style and bolt pattern

LFT is the Dodge light duty flange series with two mounting bolts on a common centreline through the bore axis.

Bolt hole centre-to-centre: 3.94 in (100.1 mm)
Overall length across the flange: 4.82 in (122.4 mm)
Overall depth: 1.64 in (41.7 mm)
Number of bolt holes: 2

Decoding the order code

LFT — light duty two-bolt flange housing
DL — D-LOK concentric clamp collar locking
104 — bore code, 1-1/4 in, on a 207 series insert
052535 — Dodge stock number

What these specs mean in practice

The D-LOK collar is a concentric clamp rather than a setscrew or an eccentric cam. A split collar draws down uniformly around the shaft, so the bearing bore stays concentric with the shaft axis instead of being pushed off centre the way two point-contact setscrews push it. That matters at speed, because a concentrically clamped insert runs with less induced runout and therefore less vibration, and it matters on a soft or plated shaft, because the clamping load is spread over the full circumference rather than dented into two spots.

Non-expansion means the insert is axially fixed in its housing. On a two-bearing shaft this unit takes the thrust and locates the shaft; the second position needs to be free to float if the shaft is long enough for thermal growth to matter.

Quantity and configuration

1 Pc. Complete unit — flange housing with the insert and its D-LOK collar fitted.

Fitting notes

The flange bolts onto a flat rigid face through its two holes on 3.94 in centres, shimmed where the face is uneven. The collar is drawn down onto the shaft after the housing is bolted and the shaft is at its running position, so the concentric clamp sets against a shaft that is already aligned.

Interchange guidance

LFT-SC-104 is the setscrew-locked unit on the same light duty two-bolt flange at the same bore, and LF-DL-104 is the D-LOK unit in the three-bolt flange housing. Both are related sizes rather than substitutions, because the locking method and the bolt pattern respectively are what change. F2B-DL-104 is the standard duty two-bolt flange with D-LOK locking at this bore, on its own bolt pattern.
