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.

Does an idler gear change the speed of the driver gear?
No. But if there are two idler gears, one smaller than the other, say a 12 tooth and a 6 tooth. the 12 tooth idler is the idler of the driver gear which has 24 teeth, making the idler gear rotate 2 times for every rotation that the driver gear rotates. Now, if the 12 tooth idler gear is rotating 2 times faster than the driver gear, then the 6 tooth idler gear will rotate 2 times faster than the 12 tooth idler gear. So, the 6 tooth idler gear is rotating 4 times faster than the driver gear. Let's say that the driven gear has 12 teeth. For every rotation of the 6 toothed idler gear, the driven gear rotates halfway.
What is an idler gear?
An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
Why might you have a gear train with three gears?

What is conveyor belt?
Conveyors beltIt's a mechanical machine consisting of a continuous moving belt that transports materials from one place to another place.A conveyor belt consists primarily of two or more drums, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them.One or both of the drums (or pulleys) are powered by motoreducer, moving the belt and the material, the other drum are free to turn being dragged from the first.The powered drum is called "drive drum" while the unpowered pulley is called the idler (or tail drum).It can be divided into two main industrial classes of belt conveyors:- Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory generally in indoor locations.- Those used to transport industrial bulk material handling, such as clay, grain, coal, ores, rice, etc. in indoors or outdoor locations.Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling.i just know the rubber belt,which use around the conveyor,and it is to save time and money to conveying goods in many factory,like steel factory,cement factory,and mines,you know i am working in a conveyor belt factory,and i know more about the conveyor belt.if you have anyquestion,aslo can emil to me.my email address is maoxiangrubber@foxmail.com.thankyou.i will reply to you .
How to change the direction of rotation in diesel engine?
you need to install idler gear or remove idler gear depend on the engine to counter the direction also you need to change the engine oil pump direction and you need to change the cam shaft directions
What is the difference between deflection and idler pulley?
A deflection pulley is used to change the direction of a belt or chain, while an idler pulley is used to maintain tension in the belt or chain. In other words, deflection pulleys guide the belt around corners or obstacles, while idler pulleys help keep the belt taut and prevent slipping.
What is the pulley under the alternator in a 1994 Chevy caprice 5.7L and how hard is it to change?
Are you talking about the "idler pulley"? They are quite simple to change. Loosen the serpentine belt by using a socket on the center of the tensioner pulley, slide the belt off the idler pulley, use a socket to pull the center bolt of the idler pulley and replace the pulley with a new one.

How do you change the idler pulley on a 1994 Ford Bronco?
To change the idler pulley on a 1994 Ford Bronco, first, ensure the engine is off and cool, then disconnect the negative battery cable. Use a socket wrench to relieve tension on the serpentine belt by rotating the tensioner pulley, and remove the belt from the idler pulley. Unbolt the old idler pulley using the appropriate socket size, then install the new pulley and reattach the serpentine belt following the routing diagram. Finally, reconnect the battery cable and start the engine to ensure everything is functioning properly.
Can the idler pulley be the problem on my car because when i brake the car dies?
The idler pulley has nothing to do with the brakes. If the idler pulley is bad it could throw or break a belt, and then your engine will stop.

WHAT PULLEY DO I loosen to get single drive belt on?
If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley. Pry the idler back and remove the belt.If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley.
