Rubber conveyor idlers are key elements in conveyor systems, playing vital roles in ensuring efficient and stable material transportation.
- Structure and Components
- Roller Body: The roller body is made of high-quality rubber, such as polyurethane or nitrile rubber. This rubber material provides excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication, and corrosion resistance.
- Bearing: Precision bearings are selected according to the size and load requirements of the idler. They ensure the flexible rotation of the idler and have a high load-bearing capacity.
- Shaft: High-quality cold-drawn round steel is used for the shaft, which offers high strength and rigidity to support the weight of the roller body and the conveyed materials.
- Bearing Seat: The bearing seat is usually made of high-quality stamped steel plates, which have good strength and stability and can effectively fix the bearings and shaft.
- Performance Characteristics
- Low Noise and Stable Operation: The elastic buffering effect of the rubber material significantly reduces the noise generated during the idler's operation, creating a more comfortable working environment. Meanwhile, the rubber conveyor idler operates more smoothly, minimizing conveyor belt deviation and material spillage caused by vibration.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: In the conveying process, the friction between materials and idlers is inevitable. The rubber material, with its high elasticity and low friction coefficient, effectively reduces the wear rate and prolongs the service life of the idlers.
- Good Self-Lubrication: In environments with high dust and humidity, rubber conveyor idlers can maintain good running conditions without external lubrication, reducing failures and energy consumption caused by poor lubrication.
- Strong Corrosion Resistance: Rubber conveyor idlers are made of high-quality rubber materials, which have good corrosion resistance and can effectively resist the erosion of acids, alkalis and other chemical substances.
- Technical Specifications
- Diameter: The diameter of the rubber conveyor idler generally ranges from Φ89mm to Φ159mm, and can be customized according to specific requirements.
- Roller Length: It is determined according to the width of the conveyor belt and load requirements to ensure effective support for the conveyor belt.
- Load Capacity: Depending on the model and specification, the load capacity of rubber conveyor idlers can range from several tons to dozens of tons, meeting various conveying requirements.
- Applications
- Mining Industry: In coal mines, iron ore mines, copper mines and other mining and processing, rubber conveyor idlers can withstand heavy loads and harsh environments, providing reliable support for ore transportation.
- Chemical Industry: In the chemical industry, rubber conveyor idlers are often used to transport corrosive raw materials. Their corrosion resistance ensures the safe operation of the conveyor system.
- Power Industry: In power plants, they are used to transport coal and other fuels, and their low noise and stable operation help improve the efficiency and safety of power generation.
