Product Details
Features:
Flat Surface – Unlike grooved idlers (which guide V-belts or timing belts), flat idlers have a smooth, even surface to support flat belts or the backside of V-belts.
Function – It helps maintain proper belt tension, reduces vibration, and guides the belt along its path without altering its direction significantly.
Applications – Commonly used in conveyor systems, industrial machinery, automotive engines (for serpentine belts), and agricultural equipment.
Materials – Often made from steel, aluminum, or plastic with a rubberized coating to reduce wear and noise.
Bearing Type – Usually includes a sealed bearing for smooth rotation and durability.
Common Issues:
Wear and tear on the pulley surface.
Bearing failure leading to noise or belt misalignment.
Improper tension causing belt slippage.
