Syntron Material Handling and CEMA recognize that many new material handling conveyor systems are being designed and fabricated throughout the world requiring substantially greater tonnage capabilities, exceeding 10,000 MTH in certain instances. We are in the forefront of this effort to lead the way as the first idler manufacturer in the world to offer the F series line. The Link-Belt® series F5000 belt conveyor idler line, boasts load ratings up to 80% greater than CEMA E idlers to handle the most extreme material capacities and lump sizes.
Our top of the line Link-Belt series F5000 idler portfolio features rugged 20, 35, and 45 degree troughed and return idlers supplied with 7" or oversized 8" diameter rollers in belt widths ranging from 48" - 120".
The Link-Belt F5000 idler provides extended, trouble-free service life for your belt conveyor equipment by offering oversized 1.75" bore, series 25500, precision tapered roller bearings. Bearing life of the F5000 is increased by the use of solid, cold drawn steel 1.75" diameter shafts that minimize deflection and increase load ratings. Oversized, stepped shafts are also available in 2" or 2.44" diameters to maximize idler load ratings for the most severe conveyor applications. The series F5000 idler features an exclusive, full-length center tube that is precision bored for bearing and seal seats to ensure perfect bearing/shaft alignment. The entire unit is then continuously welded robotically, ensuring an integral, airtight unit wherein contaminants and corrosion cannot enter.
Link-Belt F5000 rolls are designed for the most extreme-duty material handling applications. They feature a triple lip rubber contact seal paired with a machined steel deflector nut and integrated labyrinth seal that protect the 1.75” tapered roller bearings. F5000 rolls are available in 6”, 7”, and 8” diameters for belt widths up to 120 inches and come with standard 0.25” shell thickness. Link-Belt F5000 rolls are ideal for use on high capacity conveyors, severe impact loading areas, and high-tension areas of the return belt.
