The LINK-BELT 200 series take-up bearing is a mounted take-up bearing designed to maintain correct tension in belt or chain drives. It is installed on the slack side and allows position adjustment to compensate for stretch and wear. It is a key component in equipment where the drive must run aligned and vibration-free. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line and advises you on choosing the right variant for your application.
The designation of these bearings is read in blocks: the letter T indicates a take-up mounted bearing; the first number defines the housing type and locking system; the letter Y indicates the insert bearing series; the following two digits correspond to the shaft diameter in sixteenths of an inch; and the final letter N identifies sealing or configuration variants. Thus, the part numbers in this line share a structure but vary in shaft diameter.
These take-up bearings are used in belt conveyors, conveyor belts, chain elevators, agricultural machinery, bottling equipment and packaging lines. In Argentine industry they appear in food plants, cement plants, mining and the agricultural sector, where belt or chain drives require a reliable take-up. Their design allows mounting in different positions and adjusting tension without disassembling the entire system.
To select the take-up bearing, consider the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. Sealing is critical: in dusty, wet or frequently washed environments, choose variants with reinforced seals. Lubrication must be as specified by the manufacturer, and installation requires aligning the bearing with the drive side to avoid lateral forces. A misaligned take-up shortens the life of the bearing and the belt or chain.
LINK-BELT 200 series take-up bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same dimensional nomenclature. If you need to replace an existing unit, compare the shaft diameter, the distance between mounting centers and the locking type. In many cases, an equivalent part number from another brand may work, but always verify the critical dimensions. MR Accesorios Industriales helps you find the compatible alternative without compromising performance.
If you already have the part number of your take-up bearing, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote it promptly. If you cannot find it, describe the application and main dimensions: we will tell you the corresponding LINK-BELT reference. We can also evaluate special manufacturing if your equipment requires a particular configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the designation T3Y2xxN mean?
- The T indicates a take-up bearing; the first number, the housing type; the Y, the insert bearing series; the two digits, the shaft diameter in sixteenths; and the final N, sealing or configuration variants. With that part number you order the exact part.
- How do I choose the correct shaft diameter?
- Measure the shaft diameter where the bearing is mounted and express it in inches or millimeters. The LINK-BELT part number includes that measurement in sixteenths. If you have doubts, send us the measurement and we will confirm the part number you need.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, many take-up bearings are interchangeable between brands if the shaft diameter, distance between mounting centers and locking type match. Verify those dimensions before replacing. We help you find the compatible alternative.
