Take-up Housing

Take-up bearings are designed to perform the purpose of tensioning belts or chains in a range of applications. Our selection of takeup bearings includes a range of configurations in standard-duty and medium-duty options. A complete takeup bearing unit consists of the takeup bearing, a takeup housing, and a positioning screw. Funcatlity of an entire takeup unit acts as such; the positioning screw adjusts the bearing location within the frame housing, while the take-up frame ensures safe and easy adjustment and a solid mounting platform for the unit. Our take up bearings are made from top-grade materials and are precision manufactured to perform in a range of industrial-grade applications and utilize premium lubricants for long-term performance. The bearing inserts are made to meet or exceed C3 bearing tolerances to eliminate vibration and reduce internal bearing friction

Material

Bearing housings are usually manufactured from cast iron or steel, while take-up frames are typically made of steel or cast iron

Advatanges

• Bearings can be designed with features that help improve their performance in an application. These features include:

• Self-lubricating- Ball and liner materials self-lubricate or do not require lubrication.
• Lubrication port- Bearing has an opening (port) for providing grease or oil relubrication.
• Corrosion resistant- Bearings are resistant to corrosion, rust, pitting, and discoloration.

• Self-aligning- Bearings can correct for a small amount of angular misalignment.

• Split bearing- The housing and/or bearing is split into two pieces and bolted together.

• Slot width- The slot that the take-up bearing rides on (if present), can either be narrow or wide. The take-up bearing slides along this slot in the frame to adjust the tension on the conveyor. It is important to ensure the take-up bearing fits and runs smoothly on the width of the slot in the frame.
