Description
Custom Serrated Idler Pulley Product Overview
Our timing belt idler pulley incorporates a sophisticated serrated gear design that revolutionizes timing system performance. This serrated idler pulley actively guides the timing belt through positive tooth engagement, dramatically reducing lateral drift and vibration throughout the drive system. The precision CNC machining from aircraft-grade aluminum ensures minimal weight with maximum strength, while the permanently lubricated, sealed bearings provide maintenance-free operation over extended periods. Particularly effective in long-span timing systems and applications sensitive to vibration, this pulley enhances overall system stability and prolongs belt life. Our OEM and ODM services include custom tooth configurations, specialty bore arrangements, and application-specific engineering to optimize your timing system performance.

FAQ
Q1: What is the purpose of the serrated teeth on an idler pulley?
A1: The teeth positively engage with the timing belt to prevent slippage and maintain precise synchronization.
Q2: When should I use a serrated idler instead of a smooth one?
A2: In high-torque applications, reverse load conditions, or where precise positioning is critical.
Q3: Does it work with all timing belt profiles?
A3: The pulley tooth profile must exactly match your timing belt profile (GT2, T5, etc.).
Q4: Can it be used as a drive pulley?
A4: No, it's designed as an idler/tensioner; the teeth ensure tracking but don't transmit significant power.
Q5: How does it affect belt life?
A5: Properly aligned, it extends belt life by preventing slippage and reducing wear.
