The DODGE WSTU-SCMED is a mounted take-up bearing that pairs a ball insert with a housing designed to slide, so you can set and hold tension on a belt or chain drive. The housing allows axial travel for adjustment, which helps keep alignment and compensate for stretch in conveyors and similar equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you match the right size to your application.

Reading the part number: the WSTU prefix denotes the take-up housing, while SCED or SCMED identifies the insert bearing series. The trailing digits follow DODGE inch-based nomenclature, where the first digit signals the size series and the remaining digits give the nominal shaft size. For instance, WSTU-SCMED-103 fits a 1.3/16" shaft and WSTU-SCMED-200 fits a 2" shaft. Understanding this pattern lets you order the exact number without guesswork.

Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, conveyor belts and belt drive systems in food, cement, mining and logistics operations. The constant tension these units maintain protects bearings and pulleys, and the housing can be mounted in different positions while tolerating slight misalignment.

For selection, confirm the shaft diameter and the mounting arrangement you need. The insert arrives pre-lubricated and sealed to keep lubricant in and contaminants out; in dusty or damp conditions, inspect the seal regularly. Make sure the take-up moves freely and lines up with the pulley or sprocket. Periodic lubrication and tension checks help extend service life.

DODGE take-up bearings can be interchanged with other brands using series and size equivalents, though mounting dimensions may differ. When you request a quote, share the complete part number or the shaft and housing dimensions so MR Industrial Accessories can point you to a compatible option. The SCED and SCMED series span many diameters, and each number suits a specific application.

To get started, send the WSTU-SCMED number you need or your shaft and housing dimensions via WhatsApp or email.
