The STMH tensioner housing is a mounted assembly that combines an insert bearing with a cast housing designed to tension chains, belts or conveyor belts. It is used when constant tension must be maintained in drives and conveyors, absorbing misalignment and radial loads. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply the SEALMASTER line with standard sizes for shafts of different inch dimensions.

The STMH series is identified by the STMH prefix followed by a number that indicates the shaft diameter in inches, in 1/16" increments. For example, STMH-16 corresponds to a 1" shaft, STMH-20 to 1-1/4", STMH-24 to 1-1/2" and STMH-32 to 2". The numeric suffix is not an arbitrary code: it marks the exact bore size of the insert, so choosing the correct number is the first step toward a mounting without play.

These tensioner housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging belts and chain or belt drive lines. In the food, cement, mining and aggregates industries in Argentina they are common for maintaining tension at critical points where vibration and continuous load demand a robust, self-aligning support.

To select the right STMH, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The insert seal defines protection against dust and moisture: in dirty environments a labyrinth or higher-efficiency seal is advisable. Lubrication must be the one specified by the manufacturer, and mounting requires aligning the housing with the shaft to avoid parasitic stresses.

STMH SEALMASTER tensioner housings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same inch size nomenclature, such as equivalent series from SKF, NTN or Timken. Interchangeability is based on shaft diameter and insert mounting type, not on the commercial part number. If you need to replace an existing housing, send us the part number stamped on the housing or the shaft size.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote the STMH housing you need and indicate the compatible alternative if you are looking for another configuration. Send us the complete part number by WhatsApp (for example, STMH-19 or STMH-27) or the shaft size and we will reply promptly.
