The Link-Belt THCL series take-up bearing is a mounted bearing designed to absorb tension variations in chain and belt drives. It is installed on the slack side of the system and allows tension to be adjusted without disassembling the drive. It is a key part for maintaining alignment and extending the service life of chains, belts and bearings. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with the backing of more than 80 years in the industry.
The THCL series designation is read in blocks: TH indicates the take-up bearing type, CL the mounting configuration, M the fastening system and N the finish or sealing variant. The intermediate numbers define the size: for example, TH3CL2M20N corresponds to a bearing for a 20 mm shaft, while TH3CL2M45N is for a 45 mm shaft. The 211 series is the dimensional basis for these mountings, and the suffixes allow them to be adapted to different shaft diameters and fastening types.
These take-up bearings are used in chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drives in food, cement, mining and logistics plants. In Argentina, they are common in packaging lines, flour mills and aggregate processing plants, where constant tension prevents chain jumping and premature wear. Their design allows them to be mounted on existing structures with minimal modification.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the chain or belt pitch and the type of fastening available on the machine. The sealing should be chosen according to the environment: for abrasive dust, a variant with a reinforced radial shaft seal is advisable; for humid environments, seals with greater tightness. During mounting, check the alignment of the bearing with the chain run and leave the necessary adjustment travel for tensioning. Lubrication must be compatible with the incorporated bearing and renewed according to the duty cycle.
Link-Belt take-up bearings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same mounting standard and equivalent shaft diameters. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to compare the center height, the distance between mounting holes and the type of sealing. MR Accesorios Industriales advises you to find the alternative compatible with your application, maintaining the performance of the original equipment. If you need a specific variant, we handle it with the brand.
