Take up ball bearing units are designed to allow for axial adjustment of the shaft, making them ideal for applications where belt or chain tension must be maintained. These units are commonly used in conveyors, material handling systems, and processing equipment, where precise alignment and consistent tensioning are critical for efficient operation. Their adjustable housing design enables easy positioning while maintaining reliable shaft support.
Options: Available in a wide range of configurations to meet diverse application requirements, with solutions manufactured under our IPTCI, PTI and TRITAN brands.
Bearing materials include high-quality AISI 52100 chrome steel, black oxide-treated steel, hard chrome coated steel, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel for extended durability and performance in harsh or washdown environments.
Bore types are available in straight configurations to accommodate standard shaft designs. Multiple locking mechanisms—including set screw, concentric collar, and eccentric collar—provide secure shaft attachment and dependable operation.
Closure options include triple lip seals, dual seal configurations (B-Type), and IP69K sealing for high-pressure washdown and contamination-heavy environments. Units are available in medium and standard duty configurations to support a variety of load and operational requirements.
A wide selection of lubrication options is available, including NLGI #2 grease, lithium-based greases, and H1 food-grade and high-temperature food-grade greases for sanitary and high-heat applications. Bearings may be supplied as relubricatable or lubricated-for-life, depending on maintenance needs.
Housing materials include cast iron, nickel-plated, and stainless-steel options, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and adaptability across industries. Mounting configurations include narrow slot, standard slot, and wide slot take-up designs, allowing for flexible adjustment and installation.
Additional features include a full range of bore sizes, outer diameters, widths, and length-through-bore options, along with dynamic and static load ratings to meet application demands.
