Moline Bearing Co. Take-Up Bearing

Adjustable, Durable, and Engineered for Consistent Performance

The Moline Bearing Co. Take-Up Bearing is a reliable, adjustable bearing solution designed to maintain proper shaft tension and alignment across a wide range of industrial and agricultural machinery. Engineered for light-to-medium duty applications, these take-up units feature high-quality materials, precision inserts, and rugged housings that deliver dependable performance, reduced downtime, and long service life.

Adjustable Design for Optimal Tension Control

Smooth Operation for Belts, Chains, and Conveyor Systems

Moline take-up bearings are mounted within slotted housings that allow the unit to travel along a frame or rail. This design makes it easy to fine-tune shaft alignment, belt tension, and chain positioning—critical for efficient operation in conveyors, packaging lines, belt-driven systems, and material handling equipment. By maintaining proper tension, these units help extend equipment life and prevent premature wear of belts, pulleys, and sprockets.

At the center of each assembly is a precision ball bearing insert featuring hardened steel balls and raceways for low friction and efficient load distribution. Secure locking styles—such as set screw or eccentric collar—ensure firm shaft attachment, even in machinery exposed to vibration or frequent start-stop cycles.

Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance

Long-Lasting Construction for Demanding Environments

The take-up bearing housing, commonly manufactured from cast iron or pressed steel, offers robust structural support and resistance to impact. Many models also include accessible relubrication fittings, allowing for quick maintenance that prolongs bearing life and enhances equipment reliability.
