Tensioner brackets in the Rexnord ZHT MM line pair a bearing with a housing that lets you take up slack in chains, belts and conveyor belts. They suit drives where stretch has to be offset or where the alignment of the system needs to be held over time. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps buyers match the correct variant to the mounting.

Read the code in two blocks. ZHT marks the tensioner bracket family, while the digits that follow, such as 125110, 135125 or 155160, carry the main housing and bearing dimensions. The MM suffix covers a given sealing or fastening arrangement inside the series. A full reference like ZHT125110MM or ZHT165180MM therefore points to one size and one mounting type. The safest way to decode it is to work from the manufacturer's dimension table, or simply forward the code to our team and we will identify the matching reference.

Typical installations include chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drives in industrial plants, along with material handling equipment and production lines that need steady tension to avoid misalignment and early wear. The housing can be positioned in more than one orientation, which helps when the geometry of the machine is tight or the take-up point sits at an angle.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter, the radial and axial load the unit has to carry, and the working environment, especially dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. Sealing deserves close attention, and in dirty areas extra protection is worth considering. At mounting, line the bracket up with the chain or belt and confirm the adjustment range covers the tensioning travel you need. Lubricate the built-in bearing as the manufacturer specifies and tighten the fastening screws to the recommended torque so the housing is not distorted.

Rexnord tensioner brackets can be swapped for units from other makers that follow the same interchangeability standard, among them SKF, FAG, NTN and Timken, provided the critical dimensions agree: shaft diameter, center distance between fastening points and overall height. A similar code is not enough, since the mounting plan and the load capacity still have to be compared. Send us the original code or the housing dimensions and we will point you to the compatible option. Split plummer block housings from our own manufacturing are also available for other applications.
