Description

This idler assembly is the spring-loaded belt tensioner that keeps the drive belt correctly tightened. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores smooth belt tracking, reduces squeal, and helps prevent slippage or loss of drive.
  • Maintains proper tension on the drive belt for reliable power transfer
  • Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, or the belt coming off the pulleys
  • Supports smooth rotation of the driven components
  • Failure symptoms can include noise from the belt path, a frayed or derailed belt, or loss of motion
What's included: 1 idler assembly Installation notes:
  • Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
  • Access the belt path; relieve belt tension and remove the old idler assembly
  • Install the new assembly; ensure the pulley spins freely and the belt is centered in the groove
  • Manually rotate the system to verify alignment and clearances before restoring power
