The STMH-T SEALMASTER tensioner bearing housing is a mounted bearing unit with an adjustable housing that keeps proper tension in chain or belt drives. It mounts on the slack side of the system, where its position can be moved to take up stretch or wear. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line from Miami, Florida, to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.

The part number breaks down into three parts. The STMH prefix identifies the housing family, the number after the hyphen gives the insert bearing size, and the trailing T shows that the unit is a tensioner. So STMH-16T, STMH-19T and STMH-20T are the same housing type built for different shaft diameters. Reading the code this way lets a maintenance planner match the shaft size and housing style in one step.

Typical installations include chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drive systems. Plants in food processing, cement, mining and material handling use these units because they tolerate misalignment while holding drive tension. They also appear in grain storage facilities, mills and packaging lines.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the mounting arrangement. The insert seal should match the operating environment, whether that means dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. Correct lubrication and alignment at installation help the unit run properly, and the tensioner is adjusted periodically as the chain or belt stretches.

STMH-T SEALMASTER tensioner housings can be interchanged with other brands that use the same mounting standard. When comparing, check critical dimensions such as shaft diameter, distance between mounting centers and insert type. MR Industrial Accessories can help you identify a suitable equivalent without compromising performance.
