The LINK-BELT series 200 take-up unit is a mounted bearing with a cast iron housing, designed to tension and guide chains, belts and bands in transmission equipment. It mounts at the end of a shaft or on a take-up frame and allows the position to be adjusted to keep the correct tension in the system. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line and advises you on choosing the variant that matches your equipment.

The designation of these units reads in blocks: the 200 series defines the base size of the mounted bearing, and the prefixes and suffixes indicate the housing type, the locking system and the sealing. In the examples TH3U2E20N and TH3U2E32N the same structure appears with a different size: the final number changes according to the shaft diameter the unit takes. That is why, to order the replacement, it is best to send the complete part number, exactly as it appears on the nameplate or on the equipment drawing.

These take-up units are used in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, packaging lines and material handling equipment. In food plants, cement plants, ceramics plants, cold storage facilities and logistics warehouses in Argentina they are commonly found at the ends of the return shafts, where they serve the dual purpose of supporting and tensioning. They also appear on older machines that are still running, where the interchangeability of the unit is key to avoiding production downtime.

To select the right unit, first look at the shaft diameter and the type of locking the housing accepts; then the sealing: in environments with dust, water or frequent washdown, a variant with a seal that protects the bearing is best. Check the alignment of the shaft with the chain or belt line and leave enough adjustment travel to tension without forcing. Lubrication of the mounted bearing is done through the channel provided in the housing; use the grease specified for the working temperature and do not mix different bases.

As for equivalents, take-up units are cross-referenced between manufacturers by shaft diameter, housing type and locking system, not by the commercial part number. The same equipment may have left the factory with different brands depending on the batch or the year, so the reference serves as a starting point and not as the only truth. The compatible alternative is found by comparing mounting dimensions and load capacity. MR Accesorios Industriales tells you that equivalent without you having to guess.

If you have the unit part number at hand, send it via WhatsApp along with a photo of the housing and the shaft measurement. With that data we quote the LINK-BELT reference. MR Accesorios Industriales responds promptly so your line keeps running.
