The Link-Belt TH series take-up bearing is a mounted bearing designed to maintain tension in belt or chain drive systems. It is installed on take-up shafts and return pulleys, where the belt or chain needs an adjustable support point. Its robust construction withstands moderate radial and axial loads, and its design allows mounting in different positions. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line for industrial applications in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The designation of these bearings combines letters and numbers that identify the housing type and the shaft diameter. In the TH series, the letters TH indicate the take-up bearing with split housing; the number that follows (for example, 3) indicates the mounting type; CL corresponds to the mounted bearing series; and the following two digits (12, 14, 15, etc.) indicate the nominal shaft diameter in eighths of an inch. The final letter N identifies a sealing variant.

These bearings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, conveyor belts and chain drive systems. They are common in food, cement, mining and port plants and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina, they are found in material handling equipment, mills and packaging lines. Their main function is to act as an adjustable take-up to compensate for belt or chain stretch and maintain alignment. They are also used on return shafts and idler pulleys.

To select the right bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the load type (radial and axial), the environmental conditions and the lubrication method. The TH series accepts grease lubrication and requires effective sealing to prevent the entry of dust or moisture. Mounting must ensure correct alignment between the bearing and the shaft to avoid additional stresses. Fastening to the frame is done with bolts, and it is important to verify the tightening torque. If the equipment operates in corrosive environments, consider additional protection.

Link-Belt take-up bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use similar designations, such as 200 series mounted bearings with take-up housing. When requesting a quote, it is essential to provide the complete part number and shaft dimensions to ensure compatibility. MR Accesorios Industriales can tell you the compatible alternative if you cannot find the exact model. Interchangeability depends on the shaft diameter, the mounting type and the sealing, so it is always advisable to verify these data before replacing a component.
