INGCO S-JS-IP-JS7503, Jig Saw-Idler Pulley(S-JS-IP-JS7503)

product details:

Function:

An idler pulley, unlike its power-driven counterparts, doesn’t directly connect to a motor or engine. Instead, it acts as a tensioner or redirector within a belt drive system.

• Tensioning: By adjusting the position of the idler pulley, you can maintain the optimal tension on the belt. This ensures proper power transmission and prevents the belt from slipping.
• Redirecting: Idler pulleys can change the direction of travel of the belt within a system. This allows for more complex power transmission paths, especially when using multiple belts and pulleys.

Key Features:

• Freely Rotating: Idler pulleys are designed to rotate freely with minimal friction. This is achieved through the use of bearings within the pulley housing.
• Adjustable Position: The position of the idler pulley can often be adjusted to maintain proper belt tension or to achieve the desired direction change for the belt. This adjustability can be manual or automatic depending on the system design.
• Material: Idler pulleys are typically made from lightweight yet durable materials like nylon, aluminum, or even cast iron depending on the application and load requirements.
