Conveying Parts Conveyor Take-Ups

Keep the Belt Tight

Mechanical take-ups use a heavy-duty screw-style design to maintain consistent belt tension and smooth operation. The rugged threaded assembly allows precise adjustment as the belt stretches or wears, keeping your system running steady without constant manual attention.

From telescoping tube to wide-slot configurations, each take-up is built for strength, simplicity, and long service life. The result is dependable tension control that prevents slippage, extends belt and pulley life, and keeps your conveyor performing at its best.
