Product Overview: The T 209 Take-Up Bearing Housing
The T 209 is a robust and highly functional take-up bearing housing, an essential component of our T 200 Series within the broader Bearing Housing collection. Specifically designed to accommodate a 45mm shaft insert bearing (such as the UC 209), this unit provides a secure and adjustable mounting solution. Its primary feature is a guided slot that allows for linear adjustment, making it indispensable for applications requiring belt tensioning or precise shaft positioning, particularly in conveyor systems.
Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the T 209 housing ensures durability and stability under demanding industrial conditions. It is engineered to protect the insert bearing from contaminants while providing a solid foundation, which is crucial for extending the operational life of the entire assembly. For comprehensive solutions, explore our full range of bearing housings and compatible insert ball bearings.
Features of the T 209 Housing
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Offers excellent strength, rigidity, and vibration damping for reliable performance.
- Adjustable Design: Features a wide slot in the housing frame for easy and precise linear adjustment and tensioning of shafts.
- Compatibility: Designed to be paired with standard 209 series insert bearings for a 45mm shaft diameter.
- Relubrication Facility: Equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for simple and periodic lubrication to extend bearing life.
- Secure Mounting: Provides a stable and rigid support structure when mounted on a take-up frame.
- Protective Enclosure: Shields the insert bearing from dust, debris, and moisture, enhancing its service life.
Applications of T 209 Housings
