Link-Belt ZT take-up bearings are mounted units that maintain tension in conveyor belts, chains, and drive belts. Each unit combines a bearing, housing, and adjustment mechanism, allowing tension to be set without dismantling the equipment. They are common in conveyors, elevators, and transmission systems where consistent tension is needed to compensate for stretch in the flexible element.

The ZT code is structured in blocks: the letters denote the take-up family, while the following numbers combine size and mounting variant. Examples include ZT22012, ZT22015, ZT22100, ZT32102, ZT32103, ZT32104, ZT42107, and ZT42108. The first digit of the numeric block indicates size, and the subsequent digits specify housing and bearing configuration. Therefore, two references with the same prefix may differ in shaft diameter or fixing method. Always provide the full code to identify the exact variant.

Typical applications include belt conveyors in aggregate, cement, and food plants, bucket elevators, drag chains in parking systems, and belt transmission lines. They also appear in material handling equipment and machines where the driven shaft requires periodic adjustment. Available series cover various load ranges and shaft sizes, so selection depends on the application and the space available on the frame.

When choosing a take-up, consider shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and the adjustment travel required. Sealing is critical in dusty, wet, or washdown environments; verify the seal type and housing protection. Use the lubricant specified for the rotation speed and operating temperature, and check alignment between the take-up and the belt or chain guide. Misalignment accelerates wear on the bearing and seal.

Take-up bearing references interchange between manufacturers by type, shaft size, and mounting configuration, not by commercial code. When comparing with another brand, use the main dimensions, internal bearing type, and fixing method. MR Industrial Accessories can suggest a compatible alternative when the original reference is not available. Always confirm interchangeability against the drawing or the removed part.

If you have the take-up bearing code, send it via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories for a prompt quote. If you cannot find it, send a photo of the part and the shaft and housing dimensions, and we will identify the corresponding reference. We also manufacture split plummer block housings, roller chains, and sheaves, and can provide custom parts for equipment without a standard spare.
