The DODGE WSTU-SCM tensioner bearing 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 sells this line.

The WSTU-SCM-… designation is read in parts: WSTU identifies the tensioner bearing 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 full part number or the shaft diameter you need.

These tensioner bearings 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 working in environments with dust, humidity and moderate temperatures. They are also used in agricultural machinery and in production lines that require frequent tension adjustment.

To select the tensioner bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined), the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Mounting requires aligning the unit with the chain or belt and securing the housing in the position that allows tensioning movement. 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 the axial play before starting up. Poor alignment accelerates wear of the insert and the chain.

Regarding equivalences, tensioner bearings with insert bearing from different brands can be interchanged if the mounting dimensions, shaft diameter and fixing type match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: you must compare the center height, the distance between holes and the insert locking system. If you need to replace an existing unit, send us the original part number or the main measurements and we will indicate the compatible alternative from DODGE or another brand we sell.
