Tips for adjusting conveyor idlers

First, adjust the roller installation position

Incorrect installation position or uneven support may be the cause of idler deviation. Therefore, checking that the idler is installed correctly and is level is the first step to solve the idler deviation. It should be noted that the same spacing and height should be maintained when installing each roller.

Second, replace the roller

If the roller is worn or damaged, it will lead to the phenomenon of roller deviation. In this case, the best solution is to replace the idler. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to use high-quality idlers to improve the reliability and stability of the conveyor.

3. Adjust the tension degree between rollers

The inconsistency of the tensioning degree of the rollers may lead to the deviation of the rollers. If this is found, it may be necessary to adjust the tension of the idlers one by one. When adjusting, it should be noted that too much tension will damage the bearing; Too little tension will cause the idler to swing.

4. Clean the roller

Conveyor idlers are often affected by dust and dirt, which can cause an imbalance in the idler components, resulting in idler alignment. Therefore, regular cleaning of idlers, idler seats, bearings and relaxers is an effective way to prevent idler deviation.

Through the above methods, you can solve the problem of conveyor idler deviation. Of course, for some more complex problems, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or professional technical personnel in time to carry out maintenance. Paying attention to the installation and maintenance of conveyor idlers can improve the work efficiency and service life of the conveyor, and also ensure the safety of the operator.
