The DODGE TB-DLM is a take-up frame with an insert bearing, built to maintain proper tension in belt and chain drives. Series 214 indicates a medium-section insert bearing that mounts on the shaft using set screws. This unit is common in conveyors, fans, screens, and other equipment where tension must be adjusted to compensate for stretch or misalignment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you select the correct variant.

The TB-DLM designation breaks down as follows: TB stands for take-up housing, DLM identifies the housing style and locking method, and the final number—such as in TB-DLM-208—corresponds to the shaft diameter in the metric or inch series. For series 214, that number defines the shaft size and the insert's load capacity. When requesting a quote, provide the full part number from the nameplate or drawing.

These take-up frames are used on belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, vibrating screens, industrial fans, and agricultural equipment. In food processing, cement, aggregate, and oilseed facilities, the TB-DLM keeps belts tensioned and absorbs minor misalignment. The housing allows mounting in different positions to adjust tension as needed.

To select the right take-up, consider the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial or combined), and the operating environment. The insert's seal determines protection against dust and moisture; choose a labyrinth or lip seal that suits the conditions. Most inserts are permanently lubricated, but severe applications may require a grease fitting. During installation, align the housing with the drive and tighten the set screws to the recommended torque to prevent slippage.

DODGE mounted bearings are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same series and shaft diameter nomenclature. If your equipment currently uses a take-up from another manufacturer, compare the shaft diameter, mounting hole spacing, and center height. In many cases, the DODGE TB-DLM is a direct replacement. If you need an alternative, MR can advise on compatibility with the original part number.
