Product Description

Overview
The idler roller of a belt conveyor is the most important component of a belt conveyor, and it is also the component that occupies the largest number of belt conveyors. The idler roller of a belt conveyor is different from the unpowered drum used for material conveying, although its composition and appearance are similar. However, the carrying capacity of the belt conveyor rollers is relatively large, and there are corresponding limitations on the speed. Belt conveyor roller
Types of Rollers
Groove Type Upper Roller

The standard groove angle for the groove type idler is 35 degrees, so the most commonly used in each conveyor are the 35 degree groove type idler and the 35 degree groove type forward leaning idler.

Buffer Roller

Buffer rollers have 35 degree and 45 degree options. When using canvas conveyor belts, only 35 degree groove type buffer rollers can be selected. When using a 45 degree groove type buffer roller, it can be used in the section of the guide groove that is not affected by material impact.

Transition Roller

Large capacity, long-distance, high belt tension, and important conveyors should generally be equipped with transition sections.

Return Idler

The return roller, also known as the parallel lower roller, is the most commonly used type of lower roller.

Self Aligning Roller

Self aligning rollers include ordinary self-aligning rollers, friction self-aligning rollers, and conical self-aligning rollers. The self-aligning roller is used to automatically correct excessive deviation of the conveyor belt during operation, ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is the primary function of a belt conveyor idler roller?
The idler roller supports the conveyor belt and the load being transported, ensuring smooth and consistent belt movement. It is the most critical and numerically dominant component in a belt conveyor system.
Q:What is the standard groove angle for groove type idler rollers?
The standard groove angle for groove type idler rollers is 35 degrees. This is the most widely used configuration in conveyor systems, often paired with a 35 degree forward leaning idler for improved belt tracking.
Q:What is the difference between a 35 degree and 45 degree buffer roller?
When using canvas conveyor belts, only 35 degree groove type buffer rollers are suitable. The 45 degree groove type buffer roller is applicable in sections of the guide groove where materials do not directly impact the belt, offering flexibility in specific conveyor configurations.
Q:When should transition rollers be used in a conveyor system?
Transition rollers are recommended for conveyors with large capacity, long distances, high belt tension, and high operational importance. They are typically installed at the transition sections to prevent belt edge stress and maintain belt shape.
Q:What is the role of a self-aligning roller on a belt conveyor?
Self-aligning rollers automatically correct excessive lateral deviation (misalignment) of the conveyor belt during operation. They come in three types — ordinary, friction, and conical — each designed to restore proper belt alignment and ensure stable conveyor performance.
Q:How is an idler roller different from an unpowered drum?
Although idler rollers and unpowered drums share a similar appearance and basic composition, idler rollers on belt conveyors are engineered to handle significantly higher carrying capacities. They also operate within specific speed limitations to maintain system efficiency and belt integrity.
