Product Overview: The ST 25 Take-Up Unit Housing
The ST 25 is a robust and reliable take-up unit housing, an essential component in our range of Bearing Housings. Specifically designed for mounting insert bearings and facilitating belt or chain tensioning adjustments, this unit is engineered to fit a 25mm shaft. Take-up units like the ST 25 are critical in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and other applications where precise tension is required for optimal performance and longevity. The housing features guide frames or slots that allow for linear movement, simplifying the process of adjusting and maintaining tension.
The ST 25 is typically paired with an Insert Ball Bearing, such as the popular UC 205, to provide a complete and secure mounting solution for a rotating shaft. Its construction ensures stable support and protects the enclosed bearing from contaminants and operational stress, extending the service life of your machinery. As a leading supplier, we ensure our ST 25 units meet industry standards for quality and performance.
