Take-up bearings are used to maintain conveyor belt tension and align conveyor tracks. They often include a take-up assembly that consists of a guide frame, positioning screw, and mounting hardware. Take-up frames and take-up bearings that do not include assembly components are also available. There are two basic types of take-up bearings: plain bearings and roller bearings. Plain bearings provide continuous surface contact between inner and outer races, but do not include rolling elements. By contrast, ball or roller bearings use rolling elements between the inner and outer races to reduce friction. Some take-up bearings are self-lubricating or include a lubrication port. Others are corrosion resistant or self-aligning. Center-pull products locate the adjustment pull axis through the center of the bearing. Top-pull and bottom-pull devices are also available. |
Products & Services Related to Takeup Bearings
Flange Mounted Bearings
Flange mounted bearings are used when a shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. They are available in 2, 3, or 4-hole configurations.
Hanger Bearings
Hanger bearings are used as rotational bearings for drive and screw conveyor shafts that are enclosed with a housing or trough.
Linear Bearings
Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy.
Pillow Block Bearings
Pillow block bearings are mounted bearings that are used to provide load support for a rotating shaft’s axis.
Plain Bearings and Sleeve Bearings
Plain bearings and sleeve bearings (also referred to as bushings or journal bearings) are used to constrain, guide or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They function via a sliding action.
