This rugged bearing utilizes a built-in hydraulically-assisted, adapter-mounted installation and removal system. To install, simply slip the bearing on the shaft and apply hydraulic pressure to position the bearing on the adapter sleeve. Instead of the time-consuming process of mechanically rotating a lock nut, the hydraulic system quickly and easily pushes the bearing into position. Once installed, the full shaft contact offered by this unique mounting system reduces or eliminates fretting corrosion. To remove, simply apply pressure to the dismount piston to push the bearing off the adapter sleeve. No feeler gauges or specials tools are needed for installation or removal.

Factory assembled, sealed and lubricated, the Dodge hydraulically-assisted ISAF features dual sealing systems to ensure longer bearing life by reducing contaminants. A triple lip inner-bore seal, in combination with re-greasable LOR aluminum outer seal with an O-ring, ensure that contaminants can’t penetrate the bearing cavity, making it the ideal bearing for dirty and dusty harsh environments.

An ideal replacement for SAF pillow blocks, the Dodge large bore ISAF is available in sizes ranging from 5-7/16 inches up to 15".
