The DODGE NSTU SCFS SHFS series take-up housing is a mounted bearing with a stamped steel housing, designed to be mounted on flat surfaces and allow tensioning of chains, belts or conveyor belts. Its construction with a ball insert bearing makes alignment easier and absorbs small misalignments. It is used in applications where the tension of a drive system needs to be adjusted, such as conveyors, elevators or agricultural machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right size.

The NSTU SCFS SHFS designation is read in blocks: NSTU identifies the take-up housing series with insert bearing; SCFS indicates the stamped housing type with flange and mounting holes; SHFS corresponds to the insert with specific sealing. The number appearing between hyphens indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters. The intermediate letter M distinguishes construction variants within the same series. Knowing these blocks lets you order the exact replacement without ambiguity.

These take-up housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and chain or belt drive systems. In the Argentine food, cement, mining and agricultural industries they are common for keeping tension constant and compensating for wear. They also appear in road machinery and material handling equipment. Their compact stamped steel design makes them suitable for tight spaces where a pivot point with tension adjustment is needed.

To select the housing, check the shaft diameter and the required mounting type. The insert sealing protects against dust and moisture; in environments with frequent washdowns or fine particles, it is advisable to check the seal type. Mounting must ensure the base sits flat and aligned with the rest of the system; poor alignment accelerates bearing wear. Insert lubrication is permanent in most cases, but under severe conditions it may require replenishment. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for bolt torque.

Take-up housings with insert bearing are available from different brands under their own nomenclature. When looking for equivalents, compare mounting dimensions, shaft diameter and sealing type, not just the code. The DODGE NSTU SCFS SHFS series has equivalents in other lines, but hole dimensions and center height may vary. If you need to replace an existing housing, the safest approach is to start from the actual dimensions of the old part or the original code. MR can guide you to find the compatible alternative.

If you already have the code of the housing you need, write to us on WhatsApp and we will quote it promptly. We can also advise you if you are building a new system or if the current housing shows premature wear. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell DODGE.
