An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
Depends on what machine you are talking about, but idler gears or rollers are generally to take up slack and to tension chain drives.
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.
Because an idler gear may be needed.
The gears in a planetary gear system are the drive gear, ring gear, and planetary gear.
A bevel gear provides torque and rotation at 90 degrees, and a helical gear provides it at 180 degrees.
All gear is important.

An Idler Gear is usually used to maintain a stable tension on a belt or chain, OR it is used to redirect the position of the belt or chain. An idler gear transmits no power to or from the belt or chain.
An idler gear supports a belt, routes a belt around obstructions, increases the amount of area a belt contacts a pulley, or adds tension to a belt or chain drive system. In the case of a gear chain, the idler would reverse the motion of the gear it drives.
An "idler" is typically used for tensioning of a belt, as in the timing belt, or a chain.
