Lightweight, low-noise, and self-lubricating—ideal for damp and dusty conditions.
Overview
UHMWPE idlers feature roller shells made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, offering excellent wear resistance, light weight, and corrosion resistance.
They are widely used in coal mining, chemical, metallurgical, power, and cement industries as a durable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional steel idlers.

More Details For Our Customers
Structure Composition
This idler is composed of a UHMWPE roller shell, high-precision bearings, shaft, labyrinth seals, and end caps. The low density and low friction of UHMWPE effectively reduce belt running resistance and overall energy consumption.
Custom Options & Parameters
·UHMWPE idlers are ideal for corrosive, low-noise, and lightweight conveying environments. The key configurable parameters include:
·Roller Size: Outer diameters typically range from φ89 to 152mm, with customized lengths based on belt width (e.g., 500mm, 800mm, 1000mm).
·Shaft & Bearing Type: Available in shaft sizes φ20, φ25, φ30mm with bearings such as 6204, 6205, 6305.
·Shell Material: Options include full UHMWPE or steel-core with UHMWPE sleeve for varied strength and budget needs.
·Sealing System: Optional double labyrinth or fully enclosed seals to improve water and dust resistance.
·Color & Surface Finish: Available in black, white, blue UHMWPE; anti-static formulations optional.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Our UHMWPE idlers are produced with advanced molding and precision machining, backed by strict quality assurance procedures to ensure durability and reliability.
·Premium Materials: High-performance UHMWPE resin ensures superior wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and self-lubrication.
·Precision Processing: Molded or machined UHMWPE shells combined with automated shaft and bearing assembly lines ensure tight tolerances.
·Balance Testing: Every idler undergoes dynamic and static balance tests to guarantee smooth, quiet operation.
·Seal & Bearing Fit: Meticulous sealing and bearing integration enhances protection and overall efficiency.
·Full QC Coverage: From raw material checks to pre-shipment testing, every process is monitored to maintain high product consistency and performance.
FAQ or Maintenance Tips
