The DODGE WSTU-SCMED take-up bearing is a mounted bearing with a take-up housing, designed to regulate tension in belt or chain drives. It integrates a ball insert bearing in a housing that allows axial movement to adjust tension. It is used in conveyors, belts and equipment where the take-up maintains alignment and compensates for stretch. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice to select the correct size.

The WSTU-SCMED designation combines the WSTU prefix, which identifies the take-up housing, with the SCED or SCMED series of the insert bearing. The final numbers, as in WSTU-SCMED-100 or WSTU-SCMED-200, indicate the shaft diameter in inches according to DODGE nomenclature: the first digit indicates the size series and the following digits the nominal size. Thus, WSTU-SCMED-103 corresponds to a 1.3/16" shaft, and WSTU-SCMED-200 to a 2" shaft. Knowing this reading allows you to order the exact part number.

These take-up bearings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, conveyor belts and belt drive systems in food, cement, mining and logistics plants. In Argentina, they are common in the oilseed, meatpacking and aggregate processing industries, where constant tension protects bearings and pulleys. Their design allows mounting in different positions and absorbs slight misalignments.

To select the housing, check the shaft diameter and the required mounting type. The insert bearing comes factory-lubricated and sealed to retain lubricant and exclude contaminants; in dusty or humid environments, it is advisable to check the condition of the seal. Mounting must ensure that the take-up moves without obstruction and that alignment with the pulley or sprocket is correct. Periodic lubrication and tension adjustment extend service life.

DODGE take-up bearings are interchangeable with other brands under series and size equivalences, but mounting dimensions may vary. When requesting a quote, provide the full part number or the shaft and housing dimensions so that MR Accesorios Industriales can indicate the compatible alternative. The SCED and SCMED series cover a wide range of diameters, and each part number responds to a specific application.
