Carrying idlers are cylindrical rollers designed to support the loaded belt on a conveyor system, forming a trough shape to increase carrying capacity. Bearing life is a critical factor, with a minimum of 40,000 hours often specified. Here's a more detailed look at carrying idler specifications:Key Components and Materials:

• Shell: Typically made from steel tubes, either ERW (electric resistance welded) or seamless, and must meet standards like IS: 9295-1983. 
• Shaft: Made from steel, such as A3 and 45# steel. 
• Bearing: Ball bearings (e.g., 6204, 6205, 6305, etc.) are commonly used. 
• Seals: Multi-labyrinth type seals with dust covers and rain caps are used to protect bearings. 
• Rubber (Impact Idlers): Impact idlers may use rubber discs or rings for absorbing impacts. 

Diameter and Size:

• Shell Diameter: Various diameters are available, ranging from 76mm to 219mm (3" to 8 5/8"). 
• Shaft Diameter: Corresponds to the shell diameter, with options like 20mm/25mm/30mm or 25mm/30mm/35mm. 
• Bearing Series: Selected based on shaft diameter and load capacity. 

Design and Performance:

• Eccentricity:The diametral run-out (eccentricity) of the idler should not exceed 0.8mm at any point along the shell. 
• Working Life:Idlers should have a minimum rated life of 40,000 hours. 
• Troughing Angle:Carrying idlers are designed to form a trough shape to support the belt, with common troughing angles of 20°, 35°, and 45°. 
• Spacing:Spacing between idlers is determined by belt width, conveyor capacity, and load. 

Standards:

• IS 9295-1983: Specifies steel tubes for idlers.
• IS 8598-1987: Specifies idlers and idler sets for belt conveyors.
