UCT200 Series Take Up Bearing Units — Standard Duty, Setscrew Locking

A take-up unit combines a mounted bearing with a slotted cast iron housing that slides along a frame rail or between guide faces, driven by an adjusting screw. The slot travel (controlled by dimensions N1 and N2 — slot width and slot length) allows the bearing centreline to be moved axially or laterally relative to the drive structure after installation, tensioning a belt, chain, or timing drive without removing the bearing from the shaft. Once the correct tension is set, the housing is locked in position by tightening the frame bolts through the slot. This combination of bearing and tensioning mechanism in a single unit reduces the number of components on a conveyor or drive frame, lowers installation time, and makes re-tensioning after belt stretch a tool-only operation without shaft removal.

The UCT200 is the take-up format equivalent of the UCP200 pillow block. The UC series wide inner ring insert and dual 120° setscrew are identical between the two housings — the difference is entirely in the outer housing: the UCT200 replaces the fixed pillow base with a slotted take-up frame that can be moved by the tensioning screw. This means the UCT200 insert bearing, maintenance procedure, and bore suffix system are fully consistent with the rest of the UC200 family (UCF200, UCFL200, UCFA200), giving maintenance teams a single insert type to stock across pillow block, flange, and take-up positions on the same machine.

Take-Up Frame Dimensions — N1, N2, L, and the Tensioning Geometry

The UCT200 specification table introduces several dimensions not present in pillow block or flange unit tables. N1 is the slot width — the bolt shank passes through this slot and the housing slides along the slot as the tensioning screw is adjusted. N2 is the slot length — the total travel available before the housing reaches the end of the slot. L is the overall frame length including the slot. L1 is the bearing housing width across the take-up frame slots. L2 is the distance between the two slot centrelines. L3 is the housing body length. H1 is the centreline height, H2 is the total frame height, and A3 (where present) is the frame-end dimension at larger bore sizes.

Key Features

⇨

Slotted Take-Up Frame with N1×N2 Travel

N1 (slot width) and N2 (slot length) define the bolt passage and housing travel range. Adjust tensioning screw to move the bearing centreline; lock by tightening frame bolts through the slot.

🔧

Setscrew Locking — UC Insert

Dual 120° setscrew, wide inner ring UC insert. Same insert as UCP200 pillow block and UCF200/UCFL200 flange units — one insert type across all standard-duty UC housings.

📏

Metric and Inch Bore

12–90 mm metric bore with inch bore variants per housing size. UCWT201–203 compact variant for small bore positions.

☑

End Caps Available

SM (closed) or S (open) pressed steel end caps on request.

⚙

Direct Tensioning Without Shaft Removal

Re-tension belt or chain by turning the adjusting screw while the shaft runs. No need to remove the shaft or dismantle the drive for routine tensioning after belt stretch.

✅

GB / ISO / ANSI / JIS Compliant

Drop-in replacement for UCT200-pattern take-up units from any compliant manufacturer.
