The LINK-BELT tensioner bearing in this series is a mounted tensioner bearing from the Rexnord / Link-Belt Bearings BR101 line, designed to maintain correct tension in chain and belt drives. It is installed on the slack side and compensates for stretch or play in the system. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this brand and advises you on choosing the right variant for your application.
The designation of this series is read in blocks: TDS identifies the tensioner bearing family; 3 indicates the housing type; U indicates the mounted bearing with a one-piece insert; the number that follows defines the size and load capacity; N corresponds to the locking system. In the codes of this series, the final number indicates the mounting variant or the shaft diameter. The suffixes Δ■ refer to sealing and configuration options. Understanding this logic lets you order the exact replacement without errors.
These tensioner bearings are used in chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drive systems in food, cement, mining, port and agro-industrial plants. In Argentina, they are common in sugar mills, oilseed plants, meatpacking plants and grain storage facilities. Their function is to absorb length variations and maintain constant tension, extending the life of chains, belts and sprockets. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them for replacement and new projects.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined), the environmental conditions (dust, moisture, temperature) and the lubrication method. Check the sealing: labyrinths or seals protect against contaminants. Mounting must ensure alignment between the bearing and the rest of the drive; misalignment accelerates wear. Proper lubrication and correct internal clearance are key to long service life. If in doubt, contact us with the full code.
LINK-BELT tensioner bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use equivalent designations, such as SKF, FAG, NSK or NTN, as long as dimensions, load capacity and locking type match. The Link-Belt TDS series has correspondences with mounted bearing lines from other manufacturers. For a safe replacement, compare the main dimensions and the sealing system. MR Accesorios Industriales will point you to the compatible alternative if you cannot find the original code.
