Description

The UELT take-up housing from NSK is a mounted bearing unit with a T-shaped frame, built to tension chains, belts and conveyor systems. It pairs an insert bearing that grips the shaft with set screws and a housing that slides for adjustment. This makes it a practical choice when drives need to compensate for stretch or slack.
The code breaks down into three parts: UEL for the insert bearing with set screws and seals, T for the T-shaped take-up housing, and the numbers that follow for the shaft size. For instance, UELT204-012D1W3 fits a 12/16 inch shaft, and UELT205D1W3 fits a 25 mm metric shaft. The D1 and W3 suffixes indicate sealing and lubrication versions. Have your full part number ready and we will quote it.
Typical installations include chain and belt drive lines, conveyors, agricultural equipment, bottling lines and plant drive systems. The unit mounts on the slack side of the chain, and tension is set with a screw. This allows adjustments without shutting down the line.
When selecting a UELT, consider the shaft diameter, chain pitch or belt type, and the radial load. The insert comes pre-lubricated and sealed; verify that the seal suits the environment, whether dust, water or temperature extremes are present. During installation, align the housing with the drive and tighten the set screws onto the shaft with the correct wrench. Periodic relubrication helps extend bearing life.
If you are replacing a housing from another brand, we can help find an equivalent. NSK UELT take-up housings interchange with other brands that use the same nomenclature and dimensions. Provide the old part number or the shaft dimensions and we will identify a compatible option. We work with the exact designation.
