Table of Contents
A conveyor idler is a crucial component in a belt conveyor system, designed to support the conveyor belt and the load it carries.
Idlers are categorized into rotating and non-rotating types based on their function. Rotating idlers, as the name suggests, spin to provide seamless support for the moving belt. Conversely, non-rotating idlers offer support without rotation, stabilizing the belt's path.
These components are integral to the efficient operation of conveyor systems across various industries, including factories, logistics centers, airports, and train stations. A conveyor idler consists of a metal idler body that supports the belt, bearings that facilitate smooth rotation, and a drive mechanism that enables the idler to rotate, contributing to the system's overall functionality.
