Bulk Materials Handling Conveyor Idler Roller Components
Conveyor idler roller is the important part of all kinds of belt conveyor. Idler roller consist of idler roller shell, shaft, bearing, bearing house, seals and axial clip etc. The sealing series sets protects the bearing from dust and moisture, as well as other environmental contaminants. Bearing is the most important parts of idler roller. In addition, the quality of idlers also varies depending on the quality of the individual components and of the manufacturing process.
Conveyor idler Roller Structure
1. Conveyor Idler Tube or shell. The Shells are made from
steel tube with close tolerance ensuring smooth, Shock free and eccentricity
free running with minimum dimensional run out, smallest rotating weight of
rollers requires low horse power, thereby conserving power and energy due to
lowest possible dynamic friction.
2. Seals should be multi labyrinth type to pre…
