All aluminum idlers are dynamically balanced to ISO grade G6.3. Each roll is machined to precision tolerance 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

 

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 configurations.

Live Shaft

Live shaft rollers have a shaft (axle) that is fixed to the idler roll and therefore rotates with the roller body. The roller bearing is mounted to the machine frame, generally a pillow block or flange mounted bearing.
