Smooth Idler Pulley (5mm Bore / 10mm Belt)

Pulleys and belts are some of the most common mechanical components that converts the rotational motion of stepper motors and servo motors into linear motion. With this power, it's possible to create brilliant machines including 3D printers. These Timing Pulleys are stocked to work with 10mm timing belts so you can build your own pulley systems or replace the pulleys on your 3D printer. An idler pulley is used to support movement and change direction of a taught timing belt. All timing belts must operate under tension and this tension is maintained by the idler pulley.

Used extensively on 3D printers and other CNC machines, this idler pulley can be mount in various ways to suite your design. It is perfect for 10mm timing belt and includes two pressed bearings with a 5mm bore to support low friction movement. Two flanged lips on either side of the smooth face ensure that the timing belt stays on its path. The aluminium construction offers a lightweight and durable solution to your timing belt linear motion system.

Please note: The inner bearings supplied for this Smooth Idler Pulley may differ slightly, but their inner diameters are the same for identical functionality.
