Product Overview: The ST 35 Take-Up Bearing Housing Unit
The ST 35 is a robust take-up bearing housing unit designed to provide adjustable tensioning for conveyor belts, chains, and other power transmission systems. Engineered to accommodate a 35mm shaft, this unit is typically paired with a UC 207 insert bearing, creating a complete tensioning solution. As part of our comprehensive range of Bearing Housings, the ST 35 is essential for maintaining optimal system performance and extending the life of mechanical components.
Manufactured from high-grade cast iron, the ST 35 housing provides excellent rigidity and protection for the enclosed bearing in demanding industrial environments. Its slide mechanism allows for precise linear adjustment, making it a critical component in machinery where belt or chain slack needs to be carefully managed. This unit is a reliable choice for ensuring smooth and efficient operation across various industrial applications.
