Every industrial operation knows the frustration of conveyor belt tension issues. That's why the UCST205-16 Wide Slot Take-Up Bearing is engineered to solve one of the most common problems in manufacturing and agricultural operations: maintaining proper belt tension without constant adjustments.
This take-up bearing unit isn't just another component—it's a solution built for harsh environments. The cast iron housing provides durability that stands up to heavy use, while the sliding slot design allows for precise positioning that makes tension adjustments a breeze instead of a chore. The chrome steel insert ball bearing comes pre-lubricated, meaning you can install it immediately without worrying about initial maintenance.
What sets this bearing apart is the dual set screw system. Instead of single-point locking that can lead to slippage under load, you get two set screws at the extended end that bite securely onto your 1" shaft. This design ensures your belt tension stays exactly where you need it, even in high-vibration environments where other bearings might shift or loosen over time.
Whether you're working in agriculture equipment, automotive manufacturing, HVAC systems, or feed mills, this take-up bearing performs where it matters most. It's found in conveyor systems, pump assemblies, fan mechanisms, and countless other applications where adjustable shaft positioning is critical for operational efficiency.
Installation is straightforward—simply slide the bearing into position, align it with your shaft, and tighten the set screws. The wide slot gives you the flexibility to make fine adjustments without disassembling your entire system, saving you valuable time and reducing downtime.
When maintenance teams choose this bearing, they're not just buying a component—they're investing in reliability. The pre-lubricated design means immediate functionality, while the robust construction ensures it will handle the demands of your specific industrial environment for seasons to come.
