Gates® Idlers

Gates 2GT Idlers are available in two options Toothed and Smooth.

Toothed idlers are essential when in contact with the tooth side of the belt, where using a smooth idler or a bearing causes the teeth to be crushed. Deforming the teeth reduces registration accuracy and significant;y reduces the belt's lifespan. Toothed idlers allow the belt to glide freely whilst gently cupping the teeth as it traverses around the curve.

Smooth Idlers come in precisely machined diameters that coincide with the belt's pitch circle diameter, allowing for the easy design of parallel belt paths. This ensures that the belt's tension remains constant throughout the stroke of the belt. Gates smooth idlers have correct flanges and clearances and are concentric, meaning the diameter and positioning of the centreline are precisely aligned to keep the belt straight and true.
