LINK-BELT TH3U2E32N 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 TH3U2E32N and any equivalents.

The LINK-BELT series 200 take-up unit is a mounted bearing with a cast iron housing that tensions and guides chains, belts and bands in transmission systems. It installs at the end of a shaft or on a take-up frame, where its position can be adjusted to maintain proper tension. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you select the variant that fits your equipment.

The part number breaks down into sections: the 200 series sets the base size of the mounted bearing, while prefixes and suffixes indicate housing type, locking method and sealing. In TH3U2E20N and TH3U2E32N, the same structure appears with a different final number, which corresponds to the shaft diameter the unit accepts. For a replacement, always provide the complete part number exactly as shown on the nameplate or equipment drawing.

These take-up units are found in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, sorting belts, packaging lines and material handling equipment. In food processing, cement, ceramics, cold storage and logistics facilities, they are commonly installed at the ends of return shafts, where they both support and tension. They also appear on older machines still in service, where unit interchangeability is critical to avoid downtime.

When selecting a unit, start with the shaft diameter and the locking type the housing accepts. Then consider sealing: in dusty, wet or washdown environments, choose a variant with a seal that protects the bearing. Verify that the shaft aligns with the chain or belt line and allow enough adjustment travel to tension without forcing. Lubricate the mounted bearing through the channel in the housing, using the grease specified for the operating temperature and never mixing different bases.

Take-up units are cross-referenced between manufacturers by shaft diameter, housing type and locking system, not by the commercial part number. The same equipment may have been supplied with different brands depending on batch or year, so the reference is a starting point rather than the only answer. A compatible alternative is identified by comparing mounting dimensions and load capacity. MR Industrial Accessories can determine that equivalent for you.

If you have the unit part number, send it via WhatsApp along with a photo of the housing and the shaft measurement. With that information, we quote the LINK-BELT reference. MR Industrial Accessories responds promptly to keep your line running.
