The DODGE SCED take-up unit is a mounted bearing assembly that pairs a take-up frame with a ball insert bearing. It is designed to maintain tension in chains, belts, or bands where the center distance can be adjusted. The insert bearing ensures smooth rotation of the tensioning element, while the frame secures it to the equipment structure. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this DODGE line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.

The part number NSTU-SCED-104S breaks down as follows: NSTU denotes the take-up unit type, SCED identifies the insert bearing series, and the final digits specify the shaft diameter in inches. In the SCED series, the suffix S indicates the insert sealing. For example, NSTU-SCED-104S is a take-up unit with insert bearing for a 1.1/4" shaft. Other shaft sizes are available by changing the final number in the code.

These take-up units are commonly found in belt conveyors, transmission chains, bucket elevators, and drag systems in industrial plants. They are used in sectors such as food processing, cement, mining, and aggregate handling. By allowing tension adjustments without relocating the main shafts, they simplify maintenance and help extend the life of drive components.

When selecting a take-up unit, consider the shaft diameter, the sealing type required for the environment (dust, moisture, washdowns), and the radial load it must support. Proper mounting involves aligning the unit with the plane of the chain or belt and securely fastening it to the structure. Insert lubrication is typically permanent, but during maintenance it is wise to inspect the sealing condition and check for excessive play.

DODGE SCED series mounted bearings can interchange with other brands that use equivalent designations, such as ball insert take-up units. Interchangeability depends on shaft dimensions, mounting hole spacing, and frame height. When requesting a quote, providing the full part number or key dimensions helps ensure compatibility with your existing equipment.
