The DODGE WSTU-SXR take-up bearing is a mounted bearing with an insert unit, designed to maintain correct tension in belt or chain drives. Its housing allows mounting in different positions and the adjustment needed to compensate for stretch. It is used in conveyors, fans, screens and equipment where tension must be adjusted frequently. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this DODGE line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with technical advice to choose the right size.

The WSTU-SXR designation is read in blocks: WSTU identifies the take-up bearing type with insert bearing, SXR defines the unit series and the final number indicates the bore size. For example, WSTU-SXR-012 and WSTU-SXR-014 correspond to the smallest sizes in the series, while WSTU-SXR-100 to WSTU-SXR-104 cover the larger sizes. The numeric suffixes are not interchangeable with each other: each part number has its shaft diameter and its mounting configuration.

These take-up bearings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, axial and centrifugal fans, vibrating screens and chain drives. In Argentine industry they appear in food, cement, aggregates, waste treatment plants and packaging lines. Their function is to absorb the natural stretch of the belt or chain and maintain tension without having to disassemble the entire system.

To select the bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The insert sealing defines the protection against dust, water or washdowns: choose the appropriate grade according to the environment. Lubrication must be the one indicated by the manufacturer and mounting requires aligning the housing with the shaft to avoid stress. Tension adjustment is done by moving the bearing on its base.

DODGE mounted units have equivalents with other brands on the market, but the housing dimensions and the center height do not always match. Before replacing a unit, compare the complete part number, the shaft diameter and the mounting dimensions. MR Accesorios Industriales can tell you the compatible alternative if you cannot find the same part number. Interchangeability depends on the series and the type of insert, not only on the diameter.
