Idlers

Designed to withstand high impact loads and manufactured to meet the most demanding requirements.

Overview

 

ITM Idler assembly designs are optimised for working with high impact loads and feature improvements to the thrust ring and bearing surfaces. Idlers are produced in two main versions, for similar performance requirements but with different production technologies. All cast and fabricated idlers are produced to comply with the severe requirements for all applications.

Fully interchangeable with original equipment

Easy workshop and field replacement

All weather and arctic configurations available on demand

Main Features

ITM's Idlers

Fabricated Idlers

Fabricated Idler Wheels are obtained from the welding of hot rolled rail rims or from a one-piece cast rim. Both versions have a heat treated forged central hub and high-resistance welded side plates. A final induction hardening process is applied to increase the wear life of components.

Cast Idlers

Cast Idlers are obtained from special steel according to ITM specifications. The rim and wheel structure are fused, obtaining a single piece wheel, where needed with integrated reinforcements, to increase product robustness.
