What is idler sprocket? 
An idler sprocket is an essential component in many mechanical systems. Its primary function is to guide and maintain the proper tension of a chain or belt that is transmitting power. The idler sprocket is typically mounted on a pivoting arm or fixed bracket to maintain constant tension throughout the drive system and reduce wear and tear on the chain or belt.

One of the main advantages of using an idler sprocket is that it improves efficiency and reduces power loss. It helps to reduce vibration, noise, and wear on other components of the system, ultimately increasing the lifespan of the system.

Idler sprockets come in various sizes, materials, and tooth configurations, depending on the specific application and requirements. They are commonly used in manufacturing equipment, conveyor systems, and transportation machinery, among others.

Overall, the idler sprocket is an important component that contributes to the smooth and reliable operation of many mechanical systems. Its incorporation in these systems ultimately results in a more efficient and productive process.
