Summary

Aluminum Idler Rollers

Made from thick-wall-T6-aluminum tube, Double E Group Standard Aluminum Idlers are one of the most popular rolls we make.

All aluminum idlers are dynamically balanced to ISO grade G6.3. Each roll is machined to precision tolerances and has a 32 RMS surface finish across the face. If a hard surface is required to prevent wear, hard anodizing is available upon request.

Advantages

  • Lower rotating inertia than comparable steel idlers
  • Economic and lightweight
  • Natural corrosion resistance
  • Medium to heavy loading possible
  • Easy to custom coat and surface treat


Product Information

Specifications - Dead Shaft

​"Dead shaft" idler rollers have a bearing in the idler roll body and therefore the dead shaft (axle) remains stationary. The shaft is fixed to the machine frame in various manners.
