EBC take-up units are an efficient means of tensioning the pulleys of conveyors and elevators.
Each take-up unit consists of a EBC split roller bearing in a swivel cartridge (see page 515) mounted in a cast iron sliding unit. Two basic configurations are available - the`push` type and `tension` type as illustrated.
Push Type Take-Up Unit
Tension Type Take-Up Unit
Usually a EBC take-up will be mounted at each end of the shaft. Up to and including 90mm/3?" bore size the standard arrangement uses two expansion (EX) bearings, with axial location provided by blanking plates and ball thrust bearings.
Above 90mm/3?" bore size the standard arrangement uses two fixed (GR) bearings and plain blanking plates, if a through-shaft or different method of axial location is required, please consult our technical department
