The Difference Between Drive Pulleys and Bend Pulleys

  Drive pulleys and bend pulleys differ in terms of function, application scenarios, structure, and usage conditions.

  The main difference between the drive roller and the idler roller in terms of function and application is that the drive roller is the main power transmission component of the belt conveyor, while the idler roller is mainly used to change the direction of the conveyor belt and compress the belt to increase its contact angle with the drive roller. In terms of structure, both consist of a main shaft, roller bearings, and a bearing housing, but the drive roller may be equipped with a motor and a reducer, while the redirect roller does not have a drive device.

  In terms of operating conditions, the reversing drum has the characteristics of a compact structure, light weight, low space requirement, reliable performance, attractive appearance, and stable and convenient use. It can operate normally in harsh conditions such as high dust levels and wet, muddy environments.
