Self-Aligning Idler Roller

Product Introduction

Self-Aligning Carrying Idlers are specifically designed to address issues of conveyor belt misalignment. 

Self-Aligning Troughing Carrying Idlers typically have a unique design that allows the idler to pivot or tilt in response to any deviation in the belt's alignment. 

Self-aligning idler can be used in tracking of both return and load-carrying side and find use in reversible conveyor belts, high-load conveyor belts slow moving conveyor belts.

Working Principle 

The working principle of self-aligning idler rollers is to support rotational motion through contact between the spherical elements and the inner and outer rings. 

It consists of two inner rings and one outer ring, allowing the inner rings to adjust relative to the outer ring, providing axial and radial freedom.

 This design maintains stability in uneven loading or axial misalignment situations, reducing heat and wear generated by friction.

Main Applications

 Self-aligning idler rollers are primarily used in mechanical engineering to support conveyor belts and material weight, withstand heavy loads and vibrations generated during on-site operations, ensuring the normal operation of machinery. They are widely used in various engineering machinery such as excavators, cranes, and loaders. 

Additionally, self-aligning idler rollers can also be used in the main bearing systems of wind turbines, capable of withstanding wind power generation.
