Deflection rollers, also known as idler rollers or guide rollers, are a type of roller or wheel used in a variety of conveyor systems to guide and support the movement of a conveyor belt. Their main function is to maintain the proper alignment of the belt and to guide it around bends and curves in the conveyor.

Deflection rollers are typically located at the load-carrying side of the belt and are used in conjunction with other rollers, such as drive rollers and return rollers, to ensure smooth and stable movement of the belt. They are typically made from durable materials such as steel or a steel alloy, and may be coated with a wear-resistant material to increase their lifespan.

There are different types of Deflection Rollers available depending on the application, such as:

Fixed deflection rollers, which are fixed in place and do not move.

Swivel deflection rollers, which are mounted on a pivot and can move to align with the belt.

Self-aligning deflection rollers, which use bearings or other mechanisms to automatically adjust their position to align with the belt.

Conveyor deflection rollers are critical components that must be in good working order to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the conveyor. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn or damaged deflection rollers is important to prevent conveyor breakdowns and ensure the longevity of the conveyor system.

If the conveyor is used to carry heavy loads or operate in challenging conditions, it is important to choose high-quality and durable deflection rollers that can withstand these conditions.
