Replacing and Maintaining Idlers

View Details

 

If your idler is damaged on the job site or needs a replacement, first consult the owner&#;s manual to ensure you order the correct part. DMC Wear Parts has a wide selection of idlers to match all common makes and models for the leading manufacturers.

To limit and avoid the idler replacement process, make sure to perform regular inspection and maintenance on your equipment. These routine inspections will help you identify problems early on and save you money in the long run. Having a professional install the idler might be expensive, but it saves time and could very well prevent future issues. If you plan to replace it yourself, one of the essential steps is to consult the owner&#;s manual or manufacturer instructions, as each machine and its process might be different.

When inspecting idlers, always search for oil leakage. It can be a warning sign that the seal is no longer working, which can cause further damage to your equipment. If the idlers appear to be in good shape, you can further inspect them by grabbing your user manual and a depth gauge. Use your depth gauge to measure the idler and compare the current size to the original listed in the manual. If you do not own the user manual, there are resources online that will have the measurements or you can contact DMC Wear Parts and we will help you find all the information you need.

Worn idlers can have serious, long-term consequences like drag, which can cause de-tracking and excessive wear on your idler. Many of our clients&#; machines tend to operate in rugged terrain, which increases vulnerability to being worn down over time. However, as previously mentioned, routine inspections and maintenance can keep these issues from becoming much more significant problems.
