Take Up Unit Bearings

Take-up bearings and frames align conveyor tracks and adjust and maintain tension on conveyor belts. These assemblies contain a bearing, housing, guiding frame, and positioning screw. The positioning screw adjusts the bearing and housing's location along the frame. This frame must be long enough to achieve proper tension in the belt. Take-up frames can be center-pull, top-pull, or bottom-pull depending on the positioning screw's location in the assembly. Frames guide the take-up bearing while the bearing reduces friction.

Take-up bearings are mounted bearings consisting of a guide frame, positioning screw, and mounting hardware and are typically used to align conveyor tracks and maintain conveyor belt tension.  We offers a wide range of take-up bearings units both in inch and metric dimensions.  Each are available with or without an eccentric locking collar. Medium Duty, Heavy Duty and other types are available along with various seal options and plated housing options.  AST's takeup units housings are constructed out of cast iron and have a chrome steel bearing as standard.
