This type of split unit can be found in use on materials handling equipment in many industries. Take up units provide an efficient and readily accessible means of tensioning conveyor systems and large scale drives.

The units consist of either push type or pull type sliding supports into which standard housings and bearings may be mounted. When integrating tensioning units into new applications, it should be noted that a maximum radial load equivalent to 0.3Cor is permissible. As with all Timken Split Cylindrical units, a wide variety of sealing solutions may be applied dependant on the environment and application. Please contact Timken for assistance.
