Cast Iron Take-Up Bearing Housings (UCT / T-Series)
Product Description
Yile Machinery manufactures a complete range of UCT take-up bearing housings, designed for reliable tension adjustment in conveyor systems, chain drives, and other industrial machinery. These robust cast iron housings are a core component of a "mounted bearing unit," working with a spherical insert bearing to support a rotating shaft while allowing for linear movement.
Our UCT housings are built to standard industry dimensions, ensuring they are fully interchangeable with take-up units from other major manufacturers.
Engineered for Precise Tension Adjustment
The primary function of a take-up unit is to maintain proper tension in a system. The housing is designed to slide within a take-up frame or guide rails, typically adjusted by a tensioning screw.
Maintains Belt/Chain Tension: Prevents slippage on conveyor belts and reduces slack in chain drives.
Accommodates Shaft Misalignment: The housing features a spherical internal bore that mates with the outer ring of the insert bearing, accommodating initial static misalignment.
Extends System Life: Proper tension reduces wear on belts, chains, sprockets, and bearings, maximizing the operational life of your equipment.
Robust Construction for Reliable Performance
We ensure every bearing housing we produce is ready for demanding industrial environments.
Material Quality
High-Grade Cast Iron: Our standard housings are made from high-strength gray cast iron (e.g., HT200 / GG20), which provides excellent rigidity and vibration damping.
Optional Ductile Iron: For applications requiring higher impact strength and load capacity, we can supply housings made from ductile iron.
Precision Manufacturing
The spherical bearing seat is machined to precise tolerances to ensure a proper fit and optimal performance.
The guide surfaces are manufactured for smooth movement within the take-up frame.
Re-lubrication Feature
Most housings come equipped with a grease nipple (zerk fitting), allowing for easy re-lubrication of the bearing to flush out contaminants and extend its service life.
Typical Applications
Take-up bearing housings are essential components in a wide variety of industries:
Conveyor Systems: For belt tensioning in logistics, mining, and aggregate processing.
Agricultural Machinery: In harvesters, balers, and grain handling equipment.
Packaging and Food Processing: For maintaining tension on modular belts and chains.
HVAC Systems: For tensioning fan belts in large air handling units.
