Troughed Friction Idler

Description

General

The Friction self-aligning idler roller is used to adjust the belt deviation; it has a strong ability to prevent belt from being damaged and sideslip. It is based on the principle of idler curvature and friction to prevent and correct belt sideslip. Friction self-adjusting conveyor roller has great ability to protect conveyor belt from damage and running offline. When conveyor belt runs offline, which side the conveyor belt runs to, the frictional force of this side will be increased. Under the action of frictional force, the side with bigger frictional force will sway to conveyor belt moving direction. The function of automatic swaying can make conveyor belt return back to center line.It is the same to troughing training idler but it use the friction rollers as the supporting rollers. This troughed friction idlers don’t need guide rollers to algin conveyor belt.
