Product Overview: The T 206 Take-Up Bearing Housing Unit
The T 206 is a robust take-up bearing housing unit, a key component in our T 200 Series of Bearing Housings. Specifically designed to house a 30mm bore insert bearing, such as the popular UC 206, this unit is engineered for applications requiring adjustable shaft positioning and tensioning. Its primary function is to provide a secure mounting that can be moved along a frame, making it indispensable for tensioning conveyor belts, chains, and other power transmission systems. The cast iron construction ensures durability and stability in demanding industrial environments.
As a vital part of the T Series, the T 206 housing is manufactured to industry-standard dimensions, ensuring interchangeability and compatibility. It features a wide inner ring insert bearing seat and is equipped with a grease nipple for convenient relubrication, which helps in extending the service life of the installed bearing.
Key Features of the T 206 Housing
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Offers high strength, rigidity, and excellent vibration damping for reliable performance.
- Adjustable Mounting Design: Features a sliding slot in the housing body that allows for linear movement to adjust shaft centers and apply tension.
- Relubrication Facility: Equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for easy and periodic lubrication to flush out contaminants and prolong bearing life.
- Compatibility: Designed to accommodate various series of insert bearings with a 52mm outer diameter (e.g., UC 206, UK 206).
- Secure Bearing Fit: The housing is precision-machined to ensure a proper fit for the insert bearing, preventing outer ring rotation.
- Standardized Dimensions: Built to globally recognized standards for easy interchangeability with other manufacturers' units.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Widely used for tensioning belts on roller, belt, and chain conveyors.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in equipment like combines, balers, and seeders for adjusting drive components.
- Packaging and Bottling Plants: Ensures proper tension in conveyor lines for smooth product flow.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for use in processing lines where regular adjustments and washdowns are common.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides precise control over roller and belt tension for consistent material handling.
- HVAC Systems: Used in large fan and blower assemblies for belt tensioning.
- Material Handling Equipment: Essential for maintaining performance in sorting systems, elevators, and other transfer equipment.
Benefits of Using the T 206 Take-Up Unit
- Enhanced System Performance: Allows for precise tensioning of belts and chains, which prevents slippage and improves overall efficiency.
- Increased Component Lifespan: By maintaining correct tension, it reduces wear and tear on belts, chains, pulleys, and the bearing itself.
- Simplified Maintenance: The adjustable design simplifies the process of installing, tensioning, and replacing belts or chains, reducing downtime.
- Improved Reliability: The sturdy housing protects the insert bearing from shock loads, vibration, and contamination, leading to fewer failures.
- Versatile Installation: Can be mounted in various orientations on a take-up frame to suit different machine layouts.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Provides a durable and reliable method for shaft adjustment, reducing long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
