UCT Standard Take up Units with Inserts
UCT Standard Take‑Up Units with Bearing Inserts provide an adjustable, reliable and easy‑to‑maintain solution for supporting rotating shafts in conveyor systems and general industrial machinery. Each unit features a sliding cast iron take‑up housing designed to move along a tensioning frame or guide rail, allowing precise adjustment of belt or chain tension during installation and maintenance. This makes UCT units ideal for conveyors, material‑handling equipment, agricultural machinery and automated production lines.
The mounted bearing insert includes a spherical outer diameter, enabling the unit to self‑align within the housing and compensate for small amounts of initial misalignment. A set‑screw shaft locking system secures the insert to the shaft, providing dependable retention under continuous running conditions. Inserts are supplied pre‑greased and sealed, offering long service life with minimal maintenance.
UCT take‑up units are widely used where controlled shaft movement is required to maintain correct belt tracking and tension. The heavy‑duty cast housing provides excellent rigidity and load capacity, while the replaceable insert design allows quick servicing without removing the entire assembly.
Transpower Drives stocks the full range of UCT take‑up bearing units with fast UK delivery and technical support from our Wellingborough facility, supplying both local engineering workshops and national customers across the UK.
