Rexnord ZHT MM series tensioner brackets are mounted units that combine a bearing with a housing designed to adjust the tension of chains, belts or conveyor belts. They are used in equipment where stretching must be compensated for or the alignment of the drive system maintained. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right variant for the mounting.
The ZHT MM designation is read in parts: the letters ZHT identify the tensioner bracket family, and the numeric block that follows (for example, 125110, 135125 or 155160) encodes the main dimensions of the housing and the bearing. The MM suffixes correspond to specific sealing or fastening configurations within the ZHT MM series. Each code, such as ZHT125110MM or ZHT165180MM, defines a particular combination of size and mounting type. To correctly interpret a code, it is best to check the manufacturer's dimension table or send it directly to MR so we can tell you the equivalent reference.
These tensioner brackets are used in chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drive systems in industrial plants. In Argentina, they are common in the food, cement, mining and grain industries and in aggregate processing plants. They also appear in material handling equipment and in production lines where constant tension must be maintained to prevent misalignment and premature wear. Their design allows them to be mounted in different positions to suit the geometry of the equipment.
To select the right tensioner bracket, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load it must withstand, and the environmental conditions: presence of dust, humidity or frequent washdowns. Sealing is key: in contaminated environments, additional protection is advisable. During mounting, check the alignment of the bracket with the chain or belt, and make sure the adjustment system allows the travel needed for tensioning. Lubrication must follow the manufacturer's instructions for the built-in bearing, and the fastening screws must be tightened to the recommended torque to prevent deformation.
Rexnord tensioner brackets can be replaced by units from other manufacturers that follow the same interchangeability standard, such as SKF, FAG, NTN or Timken, as long as the critical dimensions match: shaft diameter, distance between fastening centers and overall height. It is not enough for the code to be similar; the mounting plan and load capacity must be compared. MR Accesorios Industriales can tell you the compatible alternative if you send us the original code or the housing dimensions. We also offer split plummer block housings from our in-house manufacturing for other applications.

- ZHT identifies the tensioner bracket family, and the numeric block that follows encodes the dimensions of the housing and the bearing. The MM suffix indicates a specific sealing or fastening configuration within the 5000 series. Each full code defines a particular combination of size and mounting type.
- How do I choose the right tensioner bracket for my application?
- You need to know the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load, and the environmental conditions. Sealing and the adjustment system are critical. With that data, we can tell you the Rexnord reference. If you do not have the dimensions, send us the equipment code and we will help you.
- Are Rexnord ZHT MM tensioner brackets interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, they can be replaced by units from other manufacturers that meet the same critical dimensions: shaft diameter, distance between fastening centers and overall height. It is not enough for the code to be similar; the mounting plan and load capacity must be compared. We advise you to find the equivalent.
