Idlers that don’t quit. Belt tension that won’t slip. That’s the Gates guarantee with our heavy-duty, wear-resistant idler pulleys and sprockets, designed to reduce wear, friction, and vibration on your drive system belts, ultimately extending your belt service life.
Idlers are used to take-up extra belt length and provide adjustment for tensioning belt drives. Idler pulleys and sprockets can alter belt paths and clear obstructions.
