The DODGE WSTU-GT is a take-up bracket that houses an insert bearing, used to keep proper tension in chain and belt drives. The insert bearing handles radial loads and misalignment, while the bracket moves to take up slack from stretch or wear. You will find it on conveyors, elevators and other equipment where consistent tension prevents jumping and early wear.
Reading the code: WSTU identifies the take-up bracket style, GT is the insert bearing series, and the following digits give the shaft size in inches per Dodge nomenclature. For example, WSTU-GT-104S: 104 means 1 1/4". The S suffix denotes the sealing type, intended for moderate dust or humidity. This lets you order the exact code.
Typical applications include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging lines and chain drives, as well as grinding, mixing and classifying equipment where center distances are long and tension needs adjustment. They are common in food, cement, mining and aggregate plants because the insert seal helps keep contaminants out.
When selecting, consider shaft diameter, load type (mainly radial) and environment. The S seal blocks dust and splashes; for frequent washdowns, look at additional sealing options. Installation involves aligning the housing with the drive and setting the take-up so the chain or belt has the recommended sag. Insert lubrication is usually permanent.
DODGE mounted bearings can interchange with other brands using similar nomenclature, such as SKF, NTN or Timken, if shaft dimensions, locking method and bracket configuration match. In the GT series, interchange applies at the insert and housing level, but always check tolerances and locking style. MR Industrial Accessories supplies DODGE and can help you find equivalents.
