Hold the Line
Belting is the most expensive component of a conveying system. Superior’s Self-Aligning Idlers ensure that your conveyor belts stay on track, minimizing the chance of severe belt damage.
Concave in shape, the idler’s side guide rollers restrain the belt from running up and over the conveyor. In order to lessen the wear on the belt, the side guide rollers are made with high-grade HDPE that reduces the friction between the idler and belt.

No Glory, Just Work
Return idlers do the quiet work that keeps your conveyor running smooth and straight. They support the belt on its bottom side, maintaining alignment so your system stays on track and your material stays moving.
Superior’s return idlers are built with the same attention to balance, sealing, and longevity as our troughing rolls. Advanced bearing protection keeps contaminants out, reducing drag and extending service life. They may not be in the spotlight, but every productive conveyor depends on them.
Advantages
Protects the Belt
Engineered to absorb the force of falling material, impact rolls cushion the belt at transfer points, preventing cuts, gouges, and premature wear.
Reduces Shock to Structure
Energy-dampening rolls minimize vibration, extending the life of stringers, supports, and fasteners below the belt.
Built to Take a Beating
Heavy-duty shafts and housings handle high-load, high-impact conditions without flexing or cracking, even under large rock drops.
Advanced Bearing Protection
Modern Titanium™ Idler Seal technology keeps contaminants out and uptime high, extending the life of your idlers and protecting your investment.
Which Part is Right?
Over-designed conveyor components waste money while undersized models can lead to costly downtime. Skip the guesswork...let's get it right!
