Take-up bearing units

Take-up bearing units are specialised components used to maintain the proper tension in conveyor belts, chains, and other mechanical systems that require adjustment over time. These units are typically mounted on adjustable frames, allowing the bearing to move along the shaft axis to compensate for changes in belt or chain length due to wear, stretching, or environmental factors like temperature changes.

What is a take up bearing?

Take up bearing units are often found in conveyor lines, where they are used to align conveyor tracks and to tension conveyor belts and elevator pulleys.

These units consist of a mountable housing, a radial ball bearing and a sealing solution.

Mounted onto a take up frame, these bearing units are easy to fit and maintain.

Benefits of take up bearing units include:

  • High level of operational reliability
  • Increased service life
  • Excellent tolerance of thrust loads
  • Good misalignment capabilities
  • Ease of relubrication thanks to grease nipple

Take-up bearing units FAQs

How do take-up bearing units work?

These units are mounted on adjustable frames, which allow the bearing to move along the shaft axis. As the belt or chain stretches over time, the unit can be adjusted to ensure the system maintains proper tension for optimal operation.

What are take-up bearing units?

Take-up bearing units are mechanical components designed to maintain tension in conveyor belts, chains, or similar systems. They allow for adjustments to compensate for belt or chain stretch, wear, or environmental changes.

How do I know if my system needs a take-up bearing unit?

If you have a conveyor belt or chain system that experiences frequent stretching or loosening over time, leading to misalignment or inefficiency, a take-up bearing unit will help keep the tension stable and consistent.

Can take-up bearing units be used in extreme environments?

Yes, take-up bearing units are typically built from durable materials that can withstand harsh environments, such as heavy loads, high temperatures, dust, and moisture, making them suitable for industries like mining and agriculture.
