Take up units are mounted bearing assemblies designed to provide shaft support while allowing adjustable belt or chain tension within conveyor and material handling systems.
These units are essential in applications where controlled movement is required to maintain correct belt tension, alignment, and mechanical efficiency.
At Roladex, we supply industrial take up bearing units built for demanding operating environments including heavy manufacturing, quarrying, food production, and logistics systems.
Typical applications include:
• Conveyor systems • Quarry plants • Asphalt production • Aggregate handling • Recycling facilities • Packaging plants • Food factories • Manufacturing production lines • Warehouse automation
Available options include:
• Cast iron take up units • Pressed steel assemblies • Corrosion-resistant housed solutions • Heavy-duty industrial take up bearings
Correct tensioning reduces belt wear, improves tracking, lowers energy consumption, and helps prevent premature drivetrain failures.
Roladex supplies quality take up solutions for both replacement maintenance and new equipment installations.
