Industry Focuses on Idler Rolling Resistance Research to Help Conveying Systems Save Energy

2026-01-06

 In the total operational resistance of belt conveyors, the rotational resistance and indentation resistance of idlers account for a large proportion. Therefore, reducing the rolling resistance of idlers is an effective entry point for energy saving and consumption reduction in conveying systems. The industry and research institutions are exploring this from multiple angles: including optimizing bearing selection and clearance, adopting low-resistance seals, improving the roundness and dynamic balance accuracy of idler tubes, and using low rolling resistance polymer materials to make rollers. Through comprehensive improvements in idler structure, materials, and manufacturing processes, the rotational resistance coefficient of a new generation of low-resistance idlers is expected to decrease. The promotion and use of such products help reduce the drive power configuration and daily energy consumption of long-distance, high-capacity conveying systems, aligning with the green and low-carbon development requirements in the industrial field.
