A take-up bracket from the DODGE WSTU-SCMED line pairs a mounted ball bearing with a housing that slides, so chain, belt and conveyor tension can be corrected as it changes. The SCMED construction is built for that adjusting duty, which is what makes it useful wherever wear or stretch has to be taken up rather than ignored. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America.

Reading the code helps you order the right piece the first time. WSTU tells you it is a take-up bracket with an insert bearing. SCMED is the construction series, in this case a take-up mounted bearing from the Dodge Mounted Ball Bearings line. In codes such as WSTU-SCMED-25M or WSTU-SCMED-40M, the number is the shaft diameter in millimeters, and the trailing M confirms the metric size. Once that logic is clear, you can pull the exact code straight from your equipment's shaft.

Typical duty covers belt conveyors, transmission chains, bucket elevators and drag systems in food, cement, mining and logistics plants. Packaging lines, flour mills and aggregate processing plants rely on them where tension needs frequent correction. Because the bearing sits in a housing that travels to take up slack, the arrangement also tolerates misalignment, which helps the assembly hold up over time.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter, the load type (radial, axial or combined) and the surrounding conditions. The SCMED series offers lubrication and sealing options that keep dust and moisture out, so confirm which sealing arrangement your application calls for. At mounting, use a flat, rigid surface, line the bracket up with the transmission, and set tension without loading the bearing. Scheduled lubrication and clearance checks are what carry the unit through a long service interval.

Take-up brackets with insert bearings from other brands can often be swapped in when the critical dimensions line up: shaft diameter, hole spacing and overall height. The DODGE SCMED series has counterparts in other lines, but measure before you replace anything. Our team can point you to the alternative that fits your equipment without compromising operation.
