The LINK-BELT MTHS tensioner unit is a mounted bearing from the 200 series, designed to absorb tension variations in chain or belt drives. It is used in equipment where periodic adjustment of the center distance is critical, such as conveyors, elevators and process machinery. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with alternatives for every application.
The MTHS…N designation is read as follows: the letters MTHS identify the tensioner unit family; the number that follows indicates the size of the bearing incorporated within the 200 series. The final letter N indicates a specific mounting configuration. These codes allow you to select the right unit according to shaft diameter and required load capacity.
In Argentine industry, these units are used in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, conveyor belts and drive systems in food, cement, mining and material handling plants. Their function is to maintain correct tension to prevent slipping and premature wear, especially in environments with dust, moisture or variable loads.
To select the right unit, take into account the shaft diameter, radial and axial load, and environmental conditions. Check the appropriate sealing to prevent the entry of contaminants and ensure effective lubrication. During mounting, align the unit accurately and adjust the tension according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maximize bearing service life.
