Superior Industries Introduces Variable Pitch Idlers

Superior Industries, Morris, Minn., has introduced an idler that is designed to protect belts against sharp transitions, extending their wear life and preventing damaging spillage.

The variable pitch idler is manufactured with adjustable outside rollers. Depending on the application and transition point, the rollers adjust from 5 to 35 degrees.

Variable pitch idlers are most effective when used at terminal belt transition points or on convex bends to help tighten the sealing system. They are available both inline and offset in CEMA C, D and E ratings and feature Superior’s SpinGuard seal technology, adding extra protection to the bearings.

Roll diameter dimensions range from 4 inches to 7 inches with belt widths of 24 inches to 96 inches.
