This DODGE take-up housing in the NSTU SCFS SHFS series combines a stamped steel frame with a ball insert bearing. It bolts to a flat surface and lets you shift the unit to set tension on a chain, belt or conveyor. The insert tolerates minor misalignment, which simplifies setup. Typical uses include conveyors, elevators and agricultural equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the right size.

Read the code in blocks. NSTU covers the take-up housing series with insert bearing. SCFS points to the stamped housing with flange and mounting holes. SHFS identifies the insert and its sealing arrangement. The number between the hyphens is the shaft diameter in millimeters, and the letter M marks a construction variant inside the same series. Once you know each block, you can order a replacement without guessing.

These units suit belt conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts and chain or belt drives. Plants that handle food, cement, mining material or farm products rely on them to hold tension steady as parts wear. They also show up on road machinery and material handling equipment. The compact stamped steel frame fits where space is tight but a pivot point with tension adjustment is still required.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the mounting style you need. The insert seal keeps out dust and moisture; in washdown areas or where fine particles are present, confirm which seal type you have. Set the base flat and aligned with the rest of the drive, since misalignment speeds up bearing wear. Most inserts carry permanent lubrication, though severe conditions may call for replenishment. Use the bolt torque the manufacturer recommends.

Other brands list take-up housings with insert bearings under their own codes. To find an equivalent, compare mounting dimensions, shaft diameter and seal type rather than the code alone. Alternatives to the DODGE NSTU SCFS SHFS series exist, but hole spacing and center height can differ. When replacing a housing already in service, start from the measured dimensions of the old part or its original code. MR can point you to a compatible option.

If you have the code, send it on WhatsApp and we will quote it. We can also help if you are building a new system or if the current housing is wearing early. Send the model or the dimensions and we will give you a technical answer.
