For belt and chain drives that need a reliable tensioning point, the Link-Belt TH series take-up bearing offers a mounted solution that fits on take-up shafts and return pulleys. It supports moderate radial and axial loads and can be installed in various positions. MR Industrial Accessories LLC provides this line to industrial operations across the United States and Latin America.

The TH series designation breaks down into several parts. The letters TH stand for a take-up bearing with a split housing. A digit such as 3 follows, indicating the mounting type. Then comes CL, which denotes the mounted bearing series. The next two digits (12, 14, 15, etc.) give the nominal shaft diameter in eighths of an inch. Finally, a letter like N identifies a sealing variant. This coding system helps you specify the exact configuration for your equipment.

These bearings are commonly found in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, conveyor belts and chain drive systems. Industries such as food processing, cement, mining, port operations and aggregate handling rely on them. Their primary role is to act as an adjustable take-up that compensates for belt or chain stretch and helps maintain alignment. They also serve on return shafts and idler pulleys.

When selecting a take-up bearing, consider shaft diameter, load type (radial and axial), environmental conditions and lubrication method. The TH series accepts grease lubrication and needs effective sealing against dust and moisture. Proper mounting ensures alignment between bearing and shaft to avoid extra stresses. Bolt the unit to the frame and verify the tightening torque. In corrosive environments, additional protection may be required.

Link-Belt take-up bearings can interchange with other brands that use similar designations, such as 200 series mounted bearings with a take-up housing.
