Y-bearing take-up units consist of a cast housing
and an insert bearing († fig. 1). These units
are typically mounted in take-up frames and
connected by an adjustment screw. A grease fitting
is provided in the housing for relubrication.
Standard Y-bearing take-up units can be located
on the shaft via the inner ring of the insert
bearing with either:
• grub (set) screws
• an eccentric locking collar
The Y-bearing is sealed with either:
• the standard integral seal
• the standard integral seal and an additional
flinger
