Take-Up Units
These units are designed to support a shaft which is positioned at
either end of an adjusting screw. The unit is held in position by
a take-up frame. The unit has a channel machined on either side of
the housing that fits the guide rails of the take-up frame. The adjusting
screw is attached to the unit by a collar which is pinned to the end
of the adjusting screw.
These units are typically mounted where it is important to position
a shaft or tighten a belt. As the adjusting screw is turned, the
shaft shifts position. Generally, the take-up frame and unit are
placed on opposite ends of the shaft, and both must be adjusted
in like increments to maintain the proper shaft position.
The primary application for these units is conveyors and the NTN
nomenclature designation is T. More information on
these units can be found in the NTN mounted unit catalog.
