For belt-driven equipment that needs reliable tension control, the UKTX take-up bearing housing paired with an NSK insert bearing offers a ready-to-mount solution. The housing slides to compensate for belt stretch and keeps the insert aligned with the drive. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this unit and helps you match the shaft size and mounting style to your application.
The UKTX code works like this: the number after UKTX tells you the shaft diameter in inches or its metric equivalent, and the trailing D1 points to a housing variant, such as a different seal or flange layout. Take UKTX08D1, UKTX09D1 and UKTX13D1: the 08, 09 and 13 correspond to 1/2 in, 9/16 in and 13/16 in shafts, respectively. The matching insert bearings are HS2308X, HS2309X and HS2313X, each sized to the same shaft and designed to sit in the housing. With these codes you can order the complete assembly or just the insert.
You will find these take-up units on conveyors, belt transmissions, farm equipment, packaging lines and production machinery where belt tension has to stay steady. They also show up on fans, compressors and pumps that run on belts. By absorbing changes in belt length, they help prevent slipping and derailment from the pulleys, which supports the overall service life of the drive.
Selection starts with the shaft diameter, then the way the housing attaches to the frame, and finally the adjustment range you need. Check that the insert bearing's sealing suits the environment: dusty, wet or chemical-laden areas call for more protective seals. During installation, line up the housing with the drive pulley and set tension according to the belt maker's instructions. Lubricate the insert as required and inspect clearance and seal condition at regular intervals to avoid early failures.
Take-up housings and insert bearings from various brands can often be swapped when the key dimensions agree: shaft diameter, distance between mounting centers and overall height. The UKTX and HS series correspond to other manufacturers' coding systems that use similar numbers, but it pays to confirm actual measurements before replacing. If you have a competitor's part number, we can help you identify a compatible unit. Keep in mind that interchangeability also depends on seal type and operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does UKTX mean in a take-up housing?
- UKTX designates a series of take-up housings with insert bearings. UK refers to the insert type, TX to the housing design. The following number indicates shaft diameter, and the D1 suffix denotes a construction variant.
- How do I choose the insert bearing for my UKTX housing?
- The insert must match the housing's shaft diameter. In the UKTX series, the number in the code (08, 09, 13) defines that diameter. Also consider the sealing type for your working environment. If unsure, send us the code via WhatsApp.
- Can I replace a take-up housing from another brand with an NSK one?
- Yes, provided the mounting dimensions match: shaft diameter, center distance and height. The UKTX and HS series are equivalent to other nomenclatures. Always verify actual measurements. If you share the original part code, we will suggest a compatible alternative.
