A UKTX take-up bearing housing paired with an NSK insert bearing works as a tensioning station: the insert sits in the housing and the assembly keeps chain or belt drives at the right tension while guiding the strand on conveyors. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line as part of its bearings and power transmission range for customers in the United States and Latin America.

Reading the code is the first step. UKTX is the series name for take-up housings that accept an insert bearing. The figure after it is the bore of that insert, so UKTX17 takes an insert with a 17 mm bore. A suffix such as D1 points to a housing design variant, whether that is the sealing arrangement or the construction form. In a reference like UKTX17D1;HA2317X, the HA2317X portion identifies the adapter sleeve that goes with the unit. Letters and numbers only make full sense alongside the manufacturer's catalogue.

Typical duty covers chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drives. The unit holds tension steady, takes up the stretch that develops in a chain or belt over time, and absorbs minor misalignment. On long chain runs it also serves as a return or guide wheel. Food processing, cement, mining, port terminals and packaging lines are common places to find them.

Selection comes down to a few inputs: the shaft diameter at the insert, the chain pitch or belt type, and the rotation direction. Match the insert bearing's sealing to the surroundings, whether that means dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. During installation, line the housing up with the chain strand and bolt it to a rigid base. Most inserts carry permanent lubrication; the housing itself may call for greasing at intervals depending on its design.

Units built to the same mounting standard and dimensions can be swapped between brands. Shaft diameter, the distance between fixing centres and the housing height are what establish equivalence. When replacing a worn unit, check those three dimensions against the original. Our team can point you to the unit that fits your application.
