Self-Aligning Idlers Key Specifications

Roller Diameter

89mm, 108mm, and 127mm carrying and return self-aligning rollers for steel plant conveyor belt tracking.

Pivot Mechanism

Central pivot with friction-based auto-correction, designed to operate reliably despite heavy iron dust and thermal expansion.

Trough Angle

20, 30, and 35 degree trough configurations for carrying side alignment on ore and sinter conveyors.

Bearing Type

6205 and 6305 bearings with high-temperature seals rated for ambient temperatures up to 80 degrees C near furnace zones.

Guide Roller Design

Tapered or barrel-shaped guide rollers that sense belt drift and activate the pivoting correction mechanism.

Frame Construction

Heavy-duty fabricated steel frames with corrosion-resistant coating, engineered for the harsh atmospheric conditions in steel plants.

Industrial Applications

Long-Distance Ore Transfer Conveyors
Maintaining belt alignment on overland conveyors transporting iron ore from mines to pellet plants across undulating terrain.
Sinter Plant Distribution Conveyors
Correcting belt drift on conveyors distributing sinter mix to multiple strand sinter machines with frequent directional changes.
Hot DRI Conveyor Systems
Ensuring belt tracking on conveyors handling hot sponge iron where thermal expansion can cause belt wander and misalignment.
