A LINK-BELT TH U N take-up bracket is a mounted bearing unit built to compensate for elongation in belt and chain drives. Mounted on a take-up shaft, it can be repositioned to hold the correct tension, which helps conveyor belts, elevators and general machinery run as intended. The housing is sturdy and the sealing arrangement suits tough plant conditions.

Reading the code helps you order the right unit. TH stands for a take-up bracket with a mounted bearing. The digit that follows is the shaft size in inches, so 3 means a 3-inch shaft. U identifies set screw locking. The next figure gives the bearing series, such as 212 or 214, and the closing N marks a sealing variant. So TH3U212N is a bracket for a 3-inch shaft using a series 212 bearing. The 200 series covers the most widely used inch and metric sizes.

Typical installations include conveyor belts, bucket elevators, screw conveyors and belt drives in food processing, cement, mining, port operations and agro-industrial plants. Wherever a line needs steady tension, these brackets do the job.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter, the radial and axial loads involved, the surrounding conditions such as dust, moisture and temperature, and how the bearing will be lubricated. The N seal adds protection where contaminants are present. On installation, line up the bracket and shaft correctly so no parasitic loads appear, verify internal clearance and apply lubricant as the manufacturer specifies. Getting the mounting right pays off in bearing life.

LINK-BELT take-up brackets can replace units from other makers that use the same nomenclature and dimensions.
