Rexnord 5000 series tensioner units are mounted units that combine a bearing with a metal housing and an adjustment mechanism. They are used to tension conveyor belts, drive chains and belts in equipment where correct tension must be maintained and wear or stretch compensated for. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with alternatives for different shaft sizes and mounting configurations.
The designation of these units starts with the letters ZHT and continues with a numeric sequence that identifies the size and mounting variant. For example, ZHT135415 and ZHT135500 share the 135 prefix and differ in the last digits, which define the shaft diameter and the fastening type. The codes ZHT145507 or ZHT155515 show how the first block changes according to the load capacity and the size of the incorporated bearing. To choose the right one, send the full code shown on the nameplate or on the equipment drawing.
These tensioner units are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and packaging lines. In Argentina you will find them in food, cement, mining, port and agricultural plants, especially in bucket elevators and screw conveyors. They are also used in road machinery and material handling equipment where the tension of the chain or belt must be adjusted frequently. The 5000 series is one of the most widespread for these tasks due to its robust construction and its ability to absorb misalignment.
To select the tensioner unit, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load it will withstand, and the working environment. If there is dust, water or frequent washdowns, a variant with reinforced sealing is advisable. Lubrication must be the one specified for the internal bearing and renewed according to the duty cycle. During mounting, check the alignment of the assembly and leave the adjustment travel needed to tension without forcing the structure. A misaligned tensioner shortens the life of the bearing and the belt.
When replacing a tensioner unit, interchangeability between brands depends on the mounting dimensions and the shaft diameter. It is not enough for the code to be similar: the distance between holes, the center height and the fastening type must be compared. MR Accesorios Industriales tells you the compatible alternative from the 5000 series or other equivalent lines. If the equipment has a special configuration, we manufacture it to measure.
