The LINK-BELT 200 series 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 on the end of a shaft or on a take-up and allows the position to be adjusted to maintain the correct tension of the system. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand and advises you to choose the variant that corresponds to your equipment.

The designation of these units is read 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. Therefore, to order the replacement it is best to send the complete code, as it appears on the plate or on the equipment drawing.

These take-ups are used in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, packaging lines and material handling equipment. In food plants, cement plants, ceramics plants, meat processing plants and logistics warehouses in Argentina it is common to find them at the ends of the return shafts, where they serve the dual function of supporting and tensioning. They also appear in old machines that are still operating and where the interchangeability of the unit is key to avoid stopping production.

To select the unit correctly, first look at the shaft diameter and the type of locking the housing accepts; then, the sealing: in environments with dust, water or frequent washing, a variant with a seal that protects the bearing is advisable. Check the alignment of the shaft with the line of the chain or belt 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 indicated for the working temperature and do not mix different bases.

As for equivalences, take-up units cross between manufacturers by shaft diameter, housing type and locking system, not by the commercial code. 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. If the original code is not available, the compatible alternative is found by comparing mounting dimensions and load capacity. MR Accesorios Industriales tells you that equivalence without you having to guess.

If you have the unit code 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 or the compatible alternative, and if the equipment needs a special variant, we manufacture it to measure. MR Accesorios Industriales has more than 80 years in the industrial sector and responds shortly so that your line keeps running.
