Description
DODGE WSTU-GTM-208 belongs to take-up bearing, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for WSTU-GTM-208 and any equivalents.
A take-up housing from the DODGE WSTU-GTM line pairs a ball insert bearing with a housing that slides, so the running position of a shaft can be shifted to keep belts, chains or bands at the right tension. It is a common sight on conveyors, elevators, mills and process lines, where the take-up travel is what keeps the drive running smoothly.
Reading the code is straightforward. The WSTU block tells you it is a take-up unit built around an insert bearing, GTM points to the housing series, and the trailing digits give the shaft size the insert is bored for. That is why the same housing family appears as WSTU-GTM-012, WSTU-GTM-100, WSTU-GTM-103, WSTU-GTM-107, WSTU-GTM-108, WSTU-GTM-111, WSTU-GTM-112 and WSTU-GTM-115. Quote the full code when you write to us and the unit is identified without guesswork.
Typical duty covers belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, screens and continuous process lines. Food, cement, mining, grain and chemical operations pick this style of unit when belt or chain stretch has to be absorbed while the run stays aligned. Because the housing moves, the position can be corrected without tearing down the surrounding equipment, which matters where access is tight.
Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the load the equipment carries, then moves to sealing: dusty, wet or washdown areas call for tighter barriers than a clean, dry installation. At mounting, confirm the take-up base lines up with the run and that there is enough adjustment travel left. Grease the insert to suit the service, verify clearance and shaft fixation, and only then apply tension. Misalignment here wears both the insert and the housing.
Mounted units cross over between makers by shaft number, housing type and insert configuration rather than by each brand's own code. If the equipment carries a reference from another source, send the shaft diameter, the housing type and a photo of the mounting, and we will point you to the matching option in the DODGE range, or to one of our own alternatives where that fits the job.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number at the end of WSTU-GTM tell me?
- It is the shaft size the insert is machined for. The series therefore runs from small to large shafts while keeping the same take-up housing style. Give us the complete code and your shaft size so the right unit can be quoted.
- How should I decide on the sealing?
- Look at the surroundings. Coarse dust or water calls for an insert with tighter barriers, while a clean, dry location is usually fine with the standard build. Describe where the take-up sits and we will suggest the option that suits that service.
- Which details do you need to match a replacement?
- Shaft diameter, housing type, insert configuration and a photo of the mounting. With those we can name the equivalent in the DODGE line or another option that fits. Send them over and we will get back to you.
