Do idler pulley change the direction of rotation?

Yes, idler pulleys can change the direction of rotation in a belt-driven system. They are used to guide and tension the belt, allowing it to reroute around obstacles or to achieve the desired alignment of components. While the idler pulley itself does not directly drive any load, its placement can effectively alter the path of the belt and the direction of the rotational motion transmitted through the system.
