Dead Shaft
LightWeight Idlers
When you need an idler lighter than the standard aluminum models,
but stronger than an UltraLight, take a look at Webex LightWeight
Aluminum Idlers. LightWeights offer you the same precision construction
and design detail as our standard aluminum idlers but with half
the wall thickness and half the roll weight. Breakaway torque is
less and roll inertia is lowered. All this gives you a high performance
roll ideal for low-tension applications. In all other ways, Webex
LightWeights are directly comparable to our standard aluminum idlers.
Both have the same low friction internal bearings and offer similar
shaft sizes. Both are precision balanced for maximum performance
offer a wide range of speeds.
LightWeight Aluminum Idler Advantages:
- Ideal for
low inertia low tension applications
- Low friction
bearings
- Require less
horsepower to drive
- Reduced web
slippage
- Better tension
control
- Greater sensitivity
in load-cell applications
- Readily modified
with custom coatings and surface treatments
- An excellent
value
- Ultra low
friction, oil lubricated bearings optional
