A take-up bracket from the Link-Belt 200 series, the T3U mounts on the slack side of a drive and gives you room to restore tension in a chain or belt without tearing the assembly apart. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America, and can help you match the right unit to your shaft and mounting.

Reading the code tells you most of what you need. The T prefix and U body stay the same across the line, while the two digits that follow the series number refer to shaft size: T3U210N fits a 10 shaft, T3U211N an 11, and T3U212N a 12, all within the 200 series. The trailing N marks a bracket configuration used throughout this group. Ordering is simplest when you copy the full number from the nameplate or drawing rather than working from memory.

You will find these units on chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drives, plus fan and pump shafts that need periodic adjustment. Food processing, cement, mining and aggregate operations use them regularly, since constant tension keeps chain slap down and takes strain off sprockets and pulleys.

Selection comes down to four things: shaft diameter, how the bracket fastens, the space you have, and whether the base gives enough travel to tension the drive. Match the sealing to the surroundings, since dusty or damp areas call for a version that shields the bearing. Grease on the schedule the manufacturer sets, with a compatible product, and align the bracket to both shaft and drive at mounting so side loads do not develop.

Replacement is often possible with other brands that follow the same 200 series naming, provided shaft dimensions and hole spacing line up, and the sealing style suits your conditions. Send the code from the old unit along with your shaft measurements, and the team will point you to a compatible option or work from dimensions if the original number is gone.
