Moline Bearing Company HC Normal Duty Wide Slot Take-Up Bearing with Eccentric Locking Collar

Secure Shaft Locking with Easy Tension Adjustment

The Moline HC Normal Duty Wide Slot Take-Up Bearing with Eccentric Locking Collar is engineered for smooth shaft operation, reliable adjustability, and long service life in light-to-medium duty applications. Built around a rugged wide slot cast iron housing and a precision HC-style bearing insert, this unit delivers dependable performance while simplifying alignment and routine maintenance across a wide range of equipment.

HC-Style Insert with Eccentric Locking Collar

At the heart of this take-up unit is an HC-style ball bearing insert featuring deep-groove raceways and precision-ground steel balls. This design minimizes friction, promotes even load distribution, and supports consistent rotation. The wide inner ring increases shaft stability, while the eccentric locking collar provides a secure, vibration-resistant method of shaft attachment. Installation is fast and reliable—simply rotate the collar in the direction of shaft rotation and tighten the set screw to lock the bearing firmly in place. This makes the HC insert ideal for applications subject to vibration, shock loads, or frequent start-stop cycles.

Wide Slot Housing for Precise Alignment

The wide slot take-up housing offers a greater adjustment range than standard take-up bearings, allowing operators to easily maintain proper belt or chain tension. Improved alignment helps reduce uneven loading, extend bearing and component life, and lower the risk of premature equipment failure. The durable cast iron housing adds strength and stability in demanding industrial environments.

Serviceable Design for Versatile Applications

Many Moline HC wide slot take-up bearings include relubrication fittings, enabling routine greasing to maximize bearing life and performance. These units are widely used in conveyors, agricultural equipment, HVAC systems, packaging machinery, and material handling equipment, where secure locking and easy adjustability are essential.
