What does a idler pulley do?
- Helps maintain proper tension on the belt
- Reduces vibration and noise
- Prevents premature wear on other components
- Assists in routing the belt around other pulleys
- Increases the lifespan of the belt
What happens when an idler pulley goes bad?
- Causes belt slippage
- Produces squeaking or chirping noises
- Leads to belt wear and tear
- Results in decreased engine performance
- Can cause the belt to come off completely
Does idler pulley need to be replaced?
- If there are visible signs of wear
- When there is excessive noise coming from the pulley
- After a certain number of miles or hours of use
- When the pulley is not spinning smoothly
- As part of regular maintenance schedule
Advantages of idler pulleys:
- Improves overall belt performance

- Reduces maintenance costs
- Enhances engine longevity
- Provides smoother operation
Process of Compound Pulley
Mold:
The first step in the production process is creating a mold that will be used to cast the pulley.
Casting:
Once the mold is ready, molten metal is poured into it to create the pulley shape.
Raw materials:
High-quality raw materials are used to ensure durability and strength of the pulley.
Production:
The pulley is then formed and processed to meet specific requirements.
Testing:
Each pulley undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance standards are met.
Antirust treatment:
A special treatment is applied to prevent rust and corrosion on the pulley.
Separate inspection:
Each pulley is individually inspected to guarantee it meets all specifications.
Marking:
Finally, the pulley is marked with necessary information for identification.
