Flat Idler Pulleys


Gates Flat Idler Pulleys are the ideal solution when dealing with drives with a fixed centre distance.  Often used when converting fixed centre distance roller chain drives with Poly Chain® GT Carbon™ belt drives. Idlers  can be 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.
