The DODGE SC series take-up unit is a mounted bearing with a spherical insert unit, designed to tension chains, belts or bands in drive systems. Its housing allows mounting in different positions and tension adjustment without disassembling the assembly. It is used in conveyors, elevators and agricultural or industrial machinery where stretching must be compensated and alignment maintained.

The designation WSTU-SC combines the take-up unit type (WSTU) with the SC series of the insert bearing. The number that follows —for example, in WSTU-SC-104S— indicates the shaft diameter for which it is intended, and the suffix S identifies the sealing configuration. This nomenclature allows you to quickly recognize the size and sealing variant when looking for a replacement or an additional unit for your equipment.

In Argentine industry, these take-up units appear in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and packaging lines. They are also found in seeders and harvesters, where dust and weather demand reliable sealing. Their function is to maintain the correct tension of the transmission element, preventing jumps, premature wear and misalignment failures.

To select the unit, verify the shaft diameter and the fastening type your machine accepts. The S seal protects against contaminants and retains lubricant; in environments with a lot of dirt or frequent washdowns, it is advisable to check the condition of the lips and renew lubrication according to the duty cycle. Installation must ensure that the unit seats without stress and that the take-up moves freely to regulate tension.

DODGE SC series take-up units are interchangeable with other brands that use the same spherical insert system and the same shaft and mounting hole dimensions. When requesting a quote, the safest approach is to provide the complete part number —for example, WSTU-SC-104S— or the main dimensions, so we can indicate the compatible alternative or the unit that best suits your application.
