The SEALMASTER VTWS take-up unit is a mounted assembly that pairs an insert bearing with a take-up housing. It is used to maintain proper tension in chain and belt drives, allowing adjustment to compensate for stretch or wear. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America, with technical support to select the right variant for your mounting.
The VTWS designation identifies a family of take-up units. The letters indicate the construction type, and the following number specifies the insert bearing size. The numeric suffix denotes the series: VTWS-120S and VTWS-132S belong to series 100, while VTWS-220S and VTWS-232S belong to series 200. The final letter S indicates the housing configuration, typically related to sealing or mounting style. Understanding these variants helps you choose the correct unit for each application.
These take-up units are found in belt conveyors, drag belts, bucket elevators, and chain drive systems in food, cement, mining, and aggregate processing plants. They suit material handling equipment where tension must be adjusted periodically. The design allows tension correction without fully dismantling the system, which reduces maintenance downtime.
When selecting a VTWS take-up unit, consider shaft diameter, fastening type, and the working environment. In dusty or humid conditions, verify the insert sealing and lubrication type. Mounting must ensure proper alignment between the unit and the drive shaft to avoid lateral loads. Periodic lubrication and checking bearing clearance extend the unit's service life.
SEALMASTER take-up units are interchangeable with other brands of similar mounting, provided shaft dimensions, distance between fastening centers, and insert type match. For a quote, compare the complete designation and main dimensions. MR Industrial Accessories can suggest a compatible alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between the VTWS 100 and VTWS 200 series?
- The VTWS 100 and VTWS 200 series differ in insert bearing size and housing dimensions. Series 200 generally corresponds to larger shaft diameters. To choose, compare your equipment dimensions or consult us with the complete code.
- How do I know if a VTWS take-up unit is compatible with my machine?
- Check the shaft diameter, the distance between fastening points, and the insert type. If you have the original code, send it to us and we will indicate the equivalent. We can also help you measure if you do not have the reference.
- How often is a take-up unit with insert bearing lubricated?
- The frequency depends on working conditions: in dusty or high-temperature environments, lubrication must be more frequent. Check the sealing condition and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the insert type.
