Moline EVEN-LOK™ Expansion Wide Slot Take-Up Bearing: Precision Alignment and Flexibility for Demanding Applications
The Moline EVEN-LOK™ Expansion Wide Slot Take-Up Bearing is engineered to deliver precise alignment, thermal movement accommodation, and long-term reliability in the most demanding industrial environments. Ideal for conveyors, processing lines, and bulk material handling systems, this advanced take-up bearing provides the flexibility, durability, and performance required for continuous-duty operations.
EVEN-LOK™ Concentric Locking for Superior Stability
At the heart of this bearing is Moline’s patented EVEN-LOK™ concentric locking system, designed to create a full 360-degree uniform grip on the shaft. This balanced locking mechanism eliminates shaft distortion, reduces vibration, and minimizes wear—ensuring smooth, efficient rotation even at high speeds or under fluctuating loads. Unlike traditional set screw designs, EVEN-LOK™ maintains secure engagement without slippage or uneven clamping pressure.
Expansion Design for Thermal Movement
Controlled Axial Shaft Travel
The expansion-style bearing insert allows the shaft to move axially in a controlled manner, making it ideal for applications where thermal expansion and contraction are unavoidable. This feature protects the bearing and surrounding components from excessive stress, improving system longevity and maintaining precise alignment over time.
Wide Slot Housing for Easy Adjustment
Enhanced Tensioning and Alignment Flexibility
The wide slot cast iron take-up housing provides generous adjustment capability, allowing operators to fine-tune belt or chain tension and correct misalignment with ease. This flexibility simplifies installation, reduces maintenance downtime, and ensures optimal performance throughout the machine’s operating life.
Heavy-Duty Construction with Protective Sealing
Built from rugged cast iron, the housing withstands shock, vibration, and harsh operating conditions. High-quality seals protect internal components from contaminants such as dust, moisture, and debris, helping retain lubrication and extend bearing service life.
