UCST Take-Up Bearing Units
UCST is a standard duty series configured around wider-slot take-up housing. Its catalogue definition uses setscrew locking, with individual bore and dimensional variants retained in one model table.
Series Overview
The page keeps the full series together because housing geometry and locking method define the product family more clearly than a single bore size. Exact unit numbers remain in the source table for side-by-side checking.
The series can also be compared with other mounted-bearing families when the machine design is still open. Start from the bearing index, then return to the drawing that best matches the mounting interface. Browse related bearing families.
Series-Level Selection
UCST is treated as one catalogue series, with individual unit numbers retained inside the dimensional table.
Mounting Form
The primary configuration is wider-slot take-up housing, intended for guided shaft support used where position adjustment or belt/chain tensioning is required.
Locking Logic
The catalogue identifies setscrew locking for this series; confirm the exact row before ordering.
Technical Specifications
These specifications describe the family, not a single bore size. Use them to confirm the housing and locking concept, then use the catalogue image for the exact dimensional row.

Engineering Drawing
Check this outline against the machine frame before fixing the bore or unit number. The drawing shows the series geometry; the table below carries the model-by-model dimensions for the same family.
Applications
Belt conveyor take-up positions
For belt conveyor take-up positions, this series provides the catalogue mounting form shown above. Confirm load, speed, shaft dimensions and service environment for the chosen model.
Bucket elevator or chain tensioning points
UCST is relevant when bucket elevator or chain tensioning points requires this housing format; verify shaft geometry, mounting interface, operating conditions and environment before final selection.
Adjustable material-handling frames
For adjustable material-handling frames, this series provides the catalogue mounting form shown above. Confirm load, speed, shaft dimensions and service environment for the chosen model.
Catalogue Dimensional Data
The original model table is shown at high resolution so metric and inch unit numbers remain attached to the correct drawing-letter dimensions. Select the row visually and confirm it again in the RFQ.
Selection & Integration
For replacement work, measure the installed interface before selecting by code. Shaft size is important, but housing geometry and the locking arrangement usually decide whether a unit will fit without rework. In this family, the intended role is guided shaft support used where position adjustment or belt/chain tensioning is required.
| Step | Information To Confirm |
|---|---|
| 1 | shaft diameter |
| 2 | take-up slot or guide geometry |
| 3 | required adjustment/travel position |
| 4 | locking method and lubrication access |
The supplied catalogue is used here as the technical selection reference. Final quotation review should confirm the exact model, shaft size, mounting interface and any environment-specific requirement.

Confirm The Exact UCST Configuration
Share the catalogue unit you are considering plus quantity and the machine drawing. If the unit number is unknown, measured shaft and mounting dimensions can be used to narrow the series first. Ever Power Netherlands Branch can review the quotation basis against the same reference.
