Tapered Self-aligning Idler Set

Tapered Self-aligning Idler Set is a specialized conveyor component designed to correct belt misalignment. Unlike standard troughing idlers, it features side rollers that are slightly shorter and tapered at their outer ends. When the belt drifts, it contacts the tapered edge of a side roller, which generates a rotational force on the entire idler frame. This causes the entire set to pivot, gently steering the belt back to the center. This automatic, low-friction correction prevents severe edge damage and spillage. It is particularly valuable in long or complex conveyor systems where manual alignment is difficult, enhancing operational safety, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring continuous, efficient material flow.
