Key Features and Characteristics :
*Take-up Function: These units allow for adjustment of the shaft position, enabling the tightening of belts or chains in conveyor systems .
*Self-aligning: The wide inner ring ball bearings within the units have a spherical outer diameter, allowing them to compensate for minor shaft misalignments .
*Set Screw Locking: The bearings are typically locked onto the shaft using set screws .
*Ready for Mounting: The units come pre-assembled and ready for installation .
*Relubrication: A grease fitting is usually included for relubrication purposes .
*Interchangeable: The slot spacing and width of the units are often designed to be interchangeable with other similar units on the market .
*Housing Design: The housing is designed to facilitate easy bearing replacement .
*Material Options: The housings can be made of cast iron, ductile iron, pressed steel, or even stainless steel or thermoplastic materials .
Applications :
UCT series take-up units are commonly used in :
*Conveyor systems: Providing adjustable support for pulleys and allowing for tensioning of belts or chains .
*General industrial applications: Where shaft adjustment and alignment are necessary .
The BBC-R Company catalogs offer both UCT200 and UCT300 series take-up mounted bearings, with set screw locking. These bearings are designed with a wide inner ring bearing with self-aligning spherical outside diameters
