Supporting conveyor belt: Idlers rotate to support the weight of the conveyor belt and its load, reducing belt sag and ensuring smooth operation. Reducing running resistance: The smooth rotation of idlers minimizes friction between the conveyor belt and the idlers, thereby lowering energy consumption (idler-generated resistance accounts for more than 70% of the total conveyor resistance).

Reduced operating resistance: The smooth rotation of idlers minimizes friction between the conveyor belt and the idlers, thereby lowering energy consumption (idler-induced resistance accounts for more than 70% of the total conveyor resistance).
Extending conveyor belt life: By dissipating the impact forces of conveyed materials (e.g., with buffer idlers) and preventing belt misalignment (e.g., with self-aligning idlers), belt wear is reduced.
