GT Timing Belt Idler Pulleys

Toothed

Without Teeth

Get pitch-perfect compatibility with these free-spinning pulleys. They mesh with belts that have curved GT-profile teeth, reducing vibration and wear. As they rotate on their bearings, these pulleys press up against belts to reduce slack and keep the system moving smoothly. All are compatible with GatesPowerGrip GT, 2GT, GT2, GT3, and GT4 series. Idler pulleys are often used with belt tensioners.

Iron—Strong, but best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum—Lightweight and resist rust in wet environments. Although aluminum pulleys are one-third the weight of iron pulleys, they aren't as strong.

Without Teeth—These pulleys press against the smooth side of the belt instead of the toothed side to maintain tension.

Timing Belt Idler Pulleys

Reduce vibration and wear on your timing belt with idler pulleys that maintain constant tension. Their trapezoidal teeth mesh with matching grooves on your timing belt, pressing against the belt to take up slack. Plus, they rotate freely on bearings to keep the belt moving smoothly. Idler pulleys are often used with belt tensioners.

Steel and Iron—Strong, but best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

HTD Timing Belt Idler Pulleys

Keep HTD timing belt systems running tightly with these idler pulleys. Curved teeth press against the belt as bearings rotate freely, reducing vibration and wear. All are compatible with Gates PowerGrip HTD, Omega HP, and Carlisle RPP series. Idler pulleys are often used with belt tensioners.
