The NTN SEST take-up housing is a mounted unit that combines an insert bearing with a take-up housing. It is used to maintain correct tension in transmission chains and belts, and to guide their path. Its design allows direct mounting on shafts and fastening in different positions. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its bearing housing offering, with technical advice to choose the right unit.
The SEST designation identifies NTN take-up housings. The number that follows indicates the size: the codes in the SEST series correspond to increasing sizes. Hyphenated suffixes, as in SEST204-12 or SEST205-16, indicate shaft diameter or mounting variants. To correctly interpret each code, refer to the dimension table in the NTN catalog or consult us with the complete code.
These housings are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, agricultural machinery and industrial equipment where chains or belts need to be tensioned. In Argentina, they are common in the food, cement, mining industries and in processing plants. Their function is to absorb tension variations and extend the life of the transmission.
To select the housing, verify the shaft diameter, the chain or belt pitch and the mounting type. The insert bearing usually comes prelubricated and with seals that retain grease and block contaminants. During assembly, ensure correct alignment to avoid axial loads. Periodic lubrication and clearance checks are key to long-lasting performance.
NTN manufactures these housings under international standards. If you need to replace a unit from another brand, we can help you find the right equivalent. Bring us the code of the original part or the shaft dimensions and the center distance, and we will quote the corresponding option.
