Looking for some idler pulleys
flak monkey - 26/12/09 at 11:55 AM

I am looking for 3 idler pulleys, with a plain OD to run on the back of my aux belt on the duratec.

I need 2 60mm OD ones and 1 40mm OD one.

Does anyone know of any standard idler pulleys which are around this sort of size and are fixed with a single bolt through the centre?

If it comes to it I could make some, but if they are off the shelf it would be nice.

Thanks,
David

Hi Dave.

What about double row ball bearings.

40mm dia x 16mm wide x 17mm internal 4203

62mm dia x 24mm wide x 25 mm internal 4305

alternative A T Johnson have lots of data on std items.

Mike.

Thanks Mike, will have a word in AT's next time I go in there.

The idlers need to be wide enough for a 6groove poly vee belt. About 1" wide I think.

Standard impreza cambelt ones are about 60 mm i think.

Berlingo? Two bolt fixing, but one is through the centre, sure a man of your capabilities can cut off the excess though.

We've just been putting an engine in an LDV Maxus van, the aux belt idlers are about 60mm or a touch bigger at a guess & bolt on with a single central bolt. The belt is a 6 rib one & they're plain to run on the back of it. The cam belt uses a similar if not the same idler too
Cam belt idlers on a Maestro diesel are about 40-50mm & run on the back of the belt, again a single central bolt.
That's just things that are off the top of my head, mabye best to go to a scrappy & have a look & see what you can find? Some yards are still happy enough to let you wander around to find something, others are not interseted & you have to know excactly what you want & ask for it.
