The DODGE WSTU-SCM take-up unit is a mounted bearing with a ball insert unit, designed to tension chains, belts and drives in general. Its housing allows mounting in different positions and tension adjustment without disassembling the assembly. It is used in conveyors, elevators, mills and process equipment where the chain or belt needs to maintain stable tension. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand.

The WSTU-SCM-# designation reads in parts: WSTU identifies the take-up unit type with insert bearing; SCM is the unit series, and the final number indicates the size. For example, WSTU-SCM-100 and WSTU-SCM-103 correspond to the smallest sizes in the series, while WSTU-SCM-111, WSTU-SCM-112 and WSTU-SCM-115 cover the intermediate and large diameters. The numeric suffix is not a diameter in millimeters: it is a size code that corresponds to the shaft diameter according to the manufacturer's table. To choose, send us the complete part number or the shaft diameter you need.

These take-up units are used in the food, cement, mining, chemical and material handling industries. In Argentina they are commonly seen in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, screens, mixers and packaging equipment. The stamped steel housing with corrosion-resistant coating and the sealed ball insert allow operation in environments with dust, moisture and moderate temperatures. They are also used in agricultural machinery and production lines that require frequent tension adjustment.

To select the take-up unit, consider the shaft diameter, the load type (radial, axial or combined), the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Mounting requires aligning the unit with the chain or belt and fixing the housing in the position that allows the tensioning travel. The insert lubrication comes from the factory; in service, follow the maintenance plan with compatible grease. Check the sealing if there is abrasive dust or liquids, and verify axial play before start-up. Poor alignment accelerates wear on the insert and the chain.

Regarding interchange, take-up units with insert bearings from different brands can be interchanged if the mounting dimensions, shaft diameter and locking type match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: you must compare the center height, the hole spacing and the insert locking system. If you need to replace an existing unit, send us the original part number or the main dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative from DODGE or another brand we supply.

MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the DODGE line and also manufactures split plummer block housings, ANSI chains and pulleys.
