The VTWS SEALMASTER take-up frame is a mounted bearing that uses a take-up housing to keep proper tension in chain and belt drives. It mounts on the slack side of the drive so the position can be adjusted as the chain or belt stretches and wears.

The VTWS code covers take-up frames with an insert bearing. The number following the hyphen gives the shaft diameter. The VTWS 100, 200 and 300 series cover different capacities and housing configurations.

Typical installations include chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors and belt drive systems in food, cement, mining and logistics plants. Wherever constant tension is needed, these frames help chains and belts last longer.

When selecting a frame, confirm the shaft diameter and the mounting type required. The insert bearing generally comes with labyrinth or contact sealing for dusty or humid conditions. Installation involves aligning the housing with the slack side of the drive and adjusting tension through the frame mechanism. Most inserts are permanently lubricated; for severe duty, choose versions with an additional seal.

VTWS SEALMASTER take-up frames interchange with other brands that use the same shaft diameter and housing configuration nomenclature. For a quote, send the complete part number and your operating conditions, and the team can suggest an equivalent and help you choose.
