Aetna Bearing Company is an American manufacturer of idler pulleys, idler sprockets, and drive components for conveyor, agricultural, and industrial power transmission applications. Their components are manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances and are available in a wide range of bore sizes, pitches, and flange configurations to suit standard chain and belt drive systems.

Aetna idler pulleys are used to guide, tension, and support belt drives in conveyor and power transmission systems. Available in flat flanged, single flanged, and double flanged configurations in zinc yellow and plain steel finishes, they are precision-bored to standard inch dimensions and suit a wide range of standard V-belt and flat belt applications.

Where this product is used

Idler pulleys are specified across a broad range of conveyor and belt drive applications:

• Conveyor belt systems in agriculture, food processing, and bulk material handling.
• Industrial machinery and packaging equipment where belt tension and tracking must be maintained.
• Agricultural headers, combine harvesters, and field machinery requiring belt guidance components.

Selecting the right option

Match the pulley OD, bore ID, and face width to the belt and shaft specifications of your drive system. Flanged pulleys (single or double) are used where belt tracking is critical and the belt must be prevented from walking off the pulley face. The zinc yellow finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor or high-humidity environments. Confirm the bore ID matches your shaft diameter before ordering.
