Pillow Block Take-Up Frames

Motion offers a selection of pillow block take-up frames from leading brands like Dodge, Link-Belt (Rexnord), and Browning. Pillow block take-up frames facilitate the movement of mounted pillow block bearing units. They are used primarily to align conveyor tracks and maintain conveyor belt tension. The pillow block 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 pillow block take-up frame, the pillow block generally sits on top of the frame, which acts as a slider base guiding the movement of the shaft in a linear direction. Pillow block take-up frames are used primarily for heavy-duty applications that use conveyor belts, such as food processing equipment, manufacturing, and agriculture equipment.
