Idler pulley

The idler pulley is a unique part that can be found in many different machines. You may think that this part is very small and not a very important part but it works a lot in machines where belts are used. Let’s first examine what the idler pulley is and how critical it is to the proper operation of the machine. 

Less Friction, More Machines Doing Things Better

Exactly, and one of the primary roles of the idler pulley is to minimize something known as friction. Friction is what occurs when two surfaces rub together. Eventually, however, this can cause both surfaces to wear down heat being generated. Think about when you rub your hands together, they get warm, right? And it is no different with machines. As the belt moves, it can exert a great deal of force on the parts of the machine that come into contact with it. This is where the idler pulley comes into play. This allows the belt to glide smoothly by spreading out that pressure. In this way, this tiny little idler conveyor pulleys brings down the friction as well as contribute to the greater functioning of the other machine components. If the machine is running well, it can use less energy and do things in less time.
