Overview
The Dodge E-Z KLEEN 204 is a mounted ball bearing designed for food, beverage, and washdown-duty industrial applications. This 204 Series normal-duty non-expansion ball bearing unit features a 2-bolt base flange mount, making it ideal for machinery requiring reliable sealing against moisture, chemicals, and contaminants. The Dodge E-Z KLEEN mounted ball bearings are ideal for washdown applications, with a corrosion-resistant nickel composite plated insert deployed in either polymer or stainless steel housing.
Key Features
- QuadGuard Triple-Lip Seal: The QuadGuardâ„¢ triple lip seal with rubberized flinger provides superior protection against contaminants while the patented Maxlifeâ„¢ cage retains lubricant.
- Corrosion-Resistant Insert: The Dodge E-Z KLEEN ball bearing uses a patented, corrosion resistant coating superior to coated products in the market. It features a patented nickel alloy Teflon composite coating.
- Multiple Locking Options: Shaft attachment methods include SC set screw, D-LOK® concentric and Grip-Tight® adapter.
- Extended Bearing Life: Tests have shown that the Dodge CR insert exhibited 300% longer bearing life than a typical TDC coated insert.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The Dodge E-Z KLEEN 204 series directly replaces other 204-series mounted ball bearings with the same 2-bolt flange configuration and bolt center-to-center distance. Verify specific part number (e.g., F2B-SCEZ-012-PCR, F2B-SCEZ-010L-PCR) for exact interchangeability with your existing bearing. Dodge offers multiple configurations within the 204 series; confirm bore size, locking method, and housing material before ordering.
Works With
- Dodge-compatible shaft adapters (SC set screw, D-LOK concentric, Grip-Tight)
- Standard two-bolt mounting frames and housings
- Dodge snap-on end covers (polymer or stainless, installed in factory-machined grooves)
- Standard industrial lubricants compatible with food-grade or washdown-duty equipment
