The DODGE WSTU-SXV take-up bearing is a mounted bearing with a take-up housing, designed to regulate tension in belt or chain drives. It is used when it is necessary to compensate for stretching or adjust the travel of a shaft. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line. If you are looking for a solution for your assembly, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number.

The WSTU-SXV designation is read in parts: WSTU identifies the take-up bearing type with insert bearing, SXV corresponds to the insert series, and the final number indicates the shaft diameter in inches, as in WSTU-SXV-012 or WSTU-SXV-104. That figure is not an internal code: it defines the shaft size where it is mounted. Therefore, when requesting a variant, the complete part number avoids confusion and allows the exact part to be identified.

These take-up bearings are used in belt conveyors, packaging lines, belt drive lines and equipment where constant tension must be maintained. In Argentine industry they appear in food plants, cement plants, tanneries and maintenance workshops. Their function is to absorb tension variations and extend the life of belts and chains, reducing downtime for manual adjustments.

To select the bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the load type and the environmental conditions. The insert sealing protects against dust and moisture; in environments with a lot of dirt or washing, it is advisable to verify the seal type. Mounting requires aligning the bearing with the drive and adjusting the tension without forcing the bearing. Proper lubrication and periodic retightening of the bolts ensure stable operation.

DODGE mounted bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use equivalent designations, provided that the shaft diameter, housing type and locking system match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: the geometry and locking method must be compared. If you have doubts, send us a photo or the original part number and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
