Cummins 3178450 Idler Shaft
Cummins 3178450 Idler Shaft
Product Description:
-
An idler shaft is a mechanical component used to support and guide idler gears, pulleys, or sprockets within a transmission, gear train, or drive system.
-
Unlike drive shafts, an idler shaft does not transmit power directly; instead, it serves to maintain proper gear alignment, redirect rotational motion, or adjust tension in belts and chains.
-
Manufactured from high-strength, precision-ground steel or alloy materials, an idler shaft must withstand rotational forces, bearing loads, and constant contact with gears or pulleys while maintaining exact alignment and minimal wear.
- Idler shafts are commonly used in automotive transmissions, heavy machinery, industrial gearboxes, conveyor systems, and agricultural equipment.
