The main objective of an Idler is to guarantee the uninterrupted and smooth mobility of the track links while preventing any unwanted displacement. Apart from this, Idlers are purposely manufactured to withstand a considerable amount of weight, which consequently enhances the stiffness of the track link and reduces ground pressure. Being located centrally, Idlers provide critical support to the track link, while guiding both sides synchronously. It is imperative to note that maintaining proper alignment between the idler and track roller is pivotal for improved orientation, with closer proximity between the two leading to optimal results.
