The DODGE SCM series Y-bearing take-up unit is a mounted assembly that pairs an insert ball bearing with a take-up housing. It mounts directly on the shaft and secures to the frame, making it suitable for guiding and tensioning shafts in conveyors, belts and light-duty drives. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this DODGE line from Miami, Florida, serving customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.

The part number NSTU-SCM-…M breaks down as follows: NSTU denotes the mounted unit with insert bearing and take-up housing; SCM indicates the insert bearing series, medium section with set screw locking; the number that follows is the shaft diameter in millimeters; and the final M specifies the sealing type. This coding means that references such as NSTU-SCM-25M, NSTU-SCM-30M and NSTU-SCM-40M all belong to the same family but cover different shaft sizes. Understanding this structure helps you request the exact unit you need.

Typical applications include belt conveyors, conveyor belts, elevators, screens and continuous process machinery. They also appear in food, cement, mining and material handling equipment, where the shaft requires a take-up support that accommodates slight misalignments and combined loads. Common settings include aggregate plants, mills, food processing facilities and packaging lines.

When selecting a unit, begin with the shaft diameter indicated in the part number and confirm the locking method: SCM series inserts lock onto the shaft with set screws. Evaluate the sealing based on the operating environment; in dusty or moist conditions, a tighter seal is advisable. For mounting, align the housing with the shaft and tighten the locking screws with the correct wrench, avoiding impacts on the insert. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and verify radial clearance after installation.

Y-bearing take-up units can be interchanged between brands when the shaft diameter, center height and locking type match. When requesting a quote, compare these three variables along with the sealing. A compatible alternative from another brand may be available. MR Industrial Accessories can help you identify the unit that best fits your equipment.
