Description
LINK-BELT TH3S2E32E belongs to take-up bearing, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for TH3S2E32E and any equivalents.
A Link-Belt TH tensioner bearing housing pairs a bearing with a housing that lets the shaft position shift so chain or belt tension can be adjusted. That movement is what keeps the drive aligned as the transmission stretches or wears. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line in several shaft sizes, and our team can help you match a replacement to your equipment.
The code structure tells you what you are ordering. Take TH3S2E20E: TH is the tensioner housing series, 3 is the housing size, S2 is the mounting type, 20 is the shaft diameter in millimeters, and the closing E is a mounting variant. The same pattern applies to TH3S2E26E, TH3S2E32E and TH3S2E36E for 26, 32 and 36 mm shafts. Reading the blocks correctly is the simplest way to avoid ordering the wrong unit.
These mounted units are common on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging lines and chain drives, in plants handling food, cement, mining and agricultural products where uptime and cleanliness matter. They also show up on older machines where the replacement has to match the original envelope, which is typical when maintaining equipment that has been in service for many years.
When selecting a unit, work from the shaft diameter, the load type (radial, axial or combined) and the surrounding conditions. Sealing deserves attention: dusty or damp areas call for protection that keeps contaminants out. Use the lubricant specified for the internal bearing, align the assembly with the transmission during installation so no side loads are introduced, and leave the tensioner travel free until tension is set, then lock it.
Interchange with other manufacturers is possible when the critical dimensions line up: shaft diameter, hole center distance and height to center. A similar code is not enough on its own, so check the mounting drawing. If you send us the dimensions of the original equipment or a photo of the part, we can point you to the compatible option.
To replace a tensioner bearing housing, send the complete part number by WhatsApp or email and we will quote the unit or a suitable alternative. You can also ask about other sizes in the TH series or about housings for shafts with special dimensions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TH3S2E20E designation mean?
- TH marks the tensioner bearing housing series. The 3 is the housing size, S2 the mounting type, 20 the shaft diameter in millimeters, and the final E a mounting variant. Keep each block intact when ordering a replacement.
- How do I check compatibility with a tensioner bearing housing from another brand?
- Compare shaft diameter, distance between hole centers, height to the bearing center and mounting type. Matching dimensions allow interchangeability, but sealing and load capacity should still be reviewed. Send us that data and we will indicate the alternative.
- What lubrication does a Link-Belt tensioner bearing housing require?
- The internal bearing normally arrives lubricated, but in service follow the manufacturer's grease type and interval. In hot or contaminated environments, a higher-viscosity grease or reinforced sealing may be needed. Ask us about the right lubrication for your equipment.
