Belt Idlers & Tensioners

The wear-and-tear of belts leaves them stretched with lower initial tension and a possibility of slipping, resulting in lower horsepower. Idlers and tensioners are used to restore the original tension of the drive through a form of take-up. The design of tensioners eases the adjustment of tension in all directions as tension requirements change – fixing the increased vibration and bearing wear that comes as chains wear down and elongate. With the proper tensioning, smoother, quieter, and more efficient drives help lessen the potential wear on the belt or chain.

Toronto Gear Works provides multiple styles of idlers and tensioners. Among these are idler pulleys, idler sprockets, idler bushings, and tensioner arms.
