Center Pull & Side Mount Take-Up Frames

Motion offers a large selection of center pull & side mount take-up frames from leading brands like Dodge, Browning, and Timken. Center pull and side mount take-up frames facilitate the movement of mounted housing bearing units. They are used primarily to align conveyor tracks and maintain conveyor belt tension. The mounted housing bearing unit houses the bearings that interact with the shaft going through the center. The assemblage then slides along the take-up frame as needed to align and maintain tension in the relevant component. This is done by means of a slot in the unit. In a center pull take-up frame, the adjustment pull axis is located in the center of the frame, guiding the bearing housing between the two sides of the frame. A side-mount frame is similarly configured but rests flat instead, allowing it to fit in tighter spaces. Take-up frames are used primarily for applications that use conveyor belts, such as fans and blowers, food processing equipment, and manufacturing and agriculture equipment.
