The WSTU-SXR-NL is a DODGE take-up frame with an insert bearing, built to keep proper tension on belt and chain drives. Its SXR insert series uses a stamped steel housing and a sliding take-up mechanism, so you can reposition the bearing as the drive stretches or as the shaft moves slightly out of alignment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you confirm the right model.

Reading the code: WSTU tells you it is a take-up frame that holds an insert bearing. SXR is the insert series, which sets the shaft diameter and the main envelope dimensions. The digits that follow give the nominal shaft size in inches or millimeters, depending on the series convention. NL marks a construction variant, typically tied to the sealing arrangement or the housing material. Have your shaft diameter and mounting type ready before you order.

Typical use is in drive lines that need periodic tension adjustments, such as conveyors, fans, mixers, and pumping equipment. Food, textile, wood, and metallurgical plants also rely on these frames. The sliding design absorbs the natural stretch of a belt or chain and keeps the system running as intended.

To select a frame, confirm the shaft diameter and the tension range your drive requires. During installation, line up the take-up with the belt or chain and bolt it securely to the base. Most inserts come lubricated for life, but in dusty or damp areas it pays to inspect the seal. The SXR series accepts some angular misalignment, which makes mounting easier. Follow the manufacturer's tensioning and fastening instructions.

DODGE mounted bearings interchange with other brands that share the same basic dimensions and housing type. When replacing an existing frame, compare the shaft diameter, the distance between mounting centers, and the sealing type. An equivalent part number from another brand often fits, but always check the critical dimensions first. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find a compatible alternative that keeps your operation running.

If you already know the frame part number or the equipment model, send it on WhatsApp and we will quote it promptly. We can also advise you on a variant with a different shaft diameter or sealing type. MR Industrial Accessories works with DODGE, so you get a technical and commercial response.
