Idler Frame Brackets (Z, L & V)
Z, L and V type idler brackets and legs produced separately for refurbishment and spares.
View detailsThe idler station (frame) holds the rollers at the correct angle and spacing so that the belt runs straight, stable and safe. Even small geometry errors can cause belt mistracking, spillage and premature wear.
Types of idler stations
- Troughing (carrying) idlers: 2-, 3- or 5-roll sets that form the loaded belt into a trough.
- Return idlers: support the bottom strand in flat or V arrangements.
- Impact idlers: impact rollers protect the belt at loading zones.
- Self-aligning (training) idlers: detect belt drift and steer it back to centre.
- V-return idlers: help centre the belt on long conveyors.
- Frame brackets (Z and L legs): supplied separately for spares and refurbishment.
Technical details
Our idler frames are produced as standard with 20°, 30°, 35° and 45° trough angles for 400 – 2400 mm belt widths. Frames are made of laser-cut and CNC press-braked steel plate or sections and welded in fixtures for repeatable dimensions. Finishes include powder coating, hot-dip galvanising or special coatings.
Why it matters
The right trough angle increases capacity, and the right idler spacing prevents belt sag and spillage. We match the mounting hole pattern of your existing conveyor so replacement on site is quick.
FAQ about Idler Stations (Frames)
What are the standard trough angles?
20°, 30°, 35° and 45° are the most common. We help select the right angle for your material and capacity.
Can idler frames be galvanised?
Yes. Hot-dip galvanising is available for corrosive and outdoor environments; powder coating and special coatings are also offered.
Can you match my existing conveyor?
Yes. Send us the mounting hole spacing, leg type and roller sizes and we will build fully compatible frames.
Are frames supplied with rollers?
We can supply complete idler sets with rollers or frames only.
