The LINK-BELT MTHCL series mounted take-up bearing is a bearing assembly with a take-up frame, designed to maintain correct tension in conveyor belts, chains and belts. It is mounted on take-up and guide shafts, where the housing allows movement to adjust tension. Its medium-duty section within the Medium Duty Ball Bearings line makes it suitable for moderate loads and typical speeds in industrial plants. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The MTHCL series designation is read in blocks: the letters MTHCL identify the take-up frame type and the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter it is made for. The examples MTHCL216N, MTHCL219N, MTHCL223N, MTHCL224N, MTHCL227N, MTHCL228N, MTHCL231N and MTHCL232N show that correspondence: each code refers to a different shaft size. The final N suffix is part of the series nomenclature and does not change the function of the assembly. To order the correct replacement, provide the complete code exactly as it appears on the equipment.

These mounted take-up bearings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and chain drive lines. In Argentina they appear in food plants, cement plants, quarries, ports and agro-industrial facilities, where the environment often has dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. The take-up frame housing allows tension to be adjusted without disassembling the system, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. They are also used in material handling equipment and continuous process machines.

To select the take-up bearing, start from the shaft diameter required by the equipment and the type of load: the Medium Duty Ball Bearings series covers moderate loads with a ball bearing. Check the available sealing according to the environment: in areas with fine dust or water, a tighter seal is advisable. During mounting, align the frame with the shaft and verify that the take-up movement works without binding. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and check axial clearance before start-up. Careful alignment extends the life of the bearing and the frame.

Mounted take-up bearings are available from different brands with their own nomenclatures. Interchangeability is not established by shaft diameter alone: the frame height, the type of fixing and the sealing vary. That is why it is advisable to compare the complete function of the assembly and not just the number. If the original code is not available, the alternative compatible with the same mounting dimensions is sought. At MR Accesorios Industriales we indicate the compatible alternative when needed.

If you need to replace a LINK-BELT MTHCL series take-up bearing, send the complete code by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With MTHCL216N, MTHCL219N or whichever corresponds to your equipment, we will quote it shortly. You can also ask about other series of housings and mounted bearings from the LINK-BELT line that we supply in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify the take-up bearing I need?
Look for the code stamped on the housing or on the old bearing. The MTHCL series is completed with the shaft number, for example MTHCL216N or MTHCL224N. Send the complete code by WhatsApp and we will quote the replacement shortly.
What does Medium Duty Ball Bearings mean?
It is LINK-BELT's medium-duty ball bearing line. The MTHCL series belongs to that family and is designed for moderate loads and speeds, typical of conveyors and tensioning systems in industrial plants.
Can I replace a take-up bearing from another brand with a LINK-BELT one?
Yes, if the mounting dimensions match: shaft diameter, frame height and type of fixing. Matching the number alone is not enough. Send us the original code and the dimensions by WhatsApp and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
