Primary pulley on the system, used to drive the belt. Often lagged to increase friction between pulley and belt in order to transfer as much of the force as possible to the belt
Located where the belt begins its journey onthe top side of the system, the Tail pulley helps to maintain tension and align the belt.
Used to support and guide the belt within the system, can be flat or troughed. Spacing is determined by the belt weight, material weight, idler load rating, belt sag, belt rating, belt tension and other factors.
Used at loading points to absorb some of the impact energy of the material falling onto the belt, protecting the belt from impact damage. Impact troughing idlers are most typical but flat rubber cushioned impact idlers are also available.
Support the belt on the return side of the system, which is the non-carrying return of the belt to the tail pulley. Spacing of return idlers is greater than Carrying Idlers, as the belt load is greatly reduced.
Snub pulleys increase the wrap angle of the belt to increase belt traction.
Guides and redirects the belt while providing tension where bends occur in the system.
