Link-Belt ZST series tensioner housings are mounted units that combine an insert bearing with a housing designed to regulate the tension of conveyor belts, chains and belts. They are used when the tensioner needs to be held in position and minor misalignments absorbed. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line and advises you on choosing the right unit based on shaft diameter and mounting type.
The ZST designation identifies Link-Belt tensioner housings. Part numbers starting with ZST combine letters and numbers that indicate the size and configuration of the housing: for example, ZST5510818 and ZST5511118 share the base of the part number and vary in shaft diameter or fastening type. The numeric suffixes distinguish mounting, sealing or tensioner arm length variants. To correctly interpret each reference, the most practical approach is to send the full part number via WhatsApp and we'll tell you the equivalent unit.
These tensioner housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and chain drive systems. In Argentine industry they appear in food, cement, aggregate, chemical and logistics plants, where constant belt tension is critical to prevent slipping and premature wear. They are also used in material handling equipment and in packaging lines that require periodic tension adjustment.
To select a ZST tensioner housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of insert bearing the housing accepts and the adjustment travel the system needs. Sealing is key in dusty or humid environments: verify that the unit has suitable seals. During mounting, align the housing with the belt line and adjust tension gradually to avoid overloading the bearing. Lubrication should follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each application.
Link-Belt tensioner housings are interchangeable with other brands of mounted housings of similar configuration, as long as shaft dimensions, mounting holes and load capacity match. Alternatives of different origins exist on the local market, but interchangeability requires comparing drawing to drawing. If you need to replace existing equipment, MR Accesorios Industriales helps you identify the equivalent and quotes the option that best suits your machine.
To move forward with a quote, send us the full part number of the tensioner housing via WhatsApp (for example, ZST5510818) or a photo of the equipment nameplate. With that information we'll quote you shortly and indicate the compatible alternative if needed.
