Nylocomp Idlers For Aggressive Applications
The Nylocomp YIGA-P idler has been manufactured to a high standard not down to a price. With its proven life and unique characteristics, we believe you will find Nylocomp’s idler to be the lowest life time cost on the Australasian market.


The Nylocomp idler is fitted with four (4) sealed 6206 2RS bearings each with a dynamic load rating of 19500 N. This together with a large 33mm diameter shaft improves weight distribution and substantially reduces axle deflection which can cause premature bearing failures.

All Nylocomp idler components are manufactured using state of the art CNC machines. The shafts are precision machined to 29.975mm ensuring an exact bearing fit, this eliminates bearing vibration and contamination between the bearing and the shaft.

Nylocomp choose to use Solid Steel instead of Bright Drawn Steel Shafts, this
prevents hair line cracks in

the shaft which can allow corrosion to contaminate the bearings.

Nylocomp manufacture their idlers from a proprietary polymer “YIGA-P” complete with steel shafts and bearings. This combination substantially reduces idler weights to 2/3 the rotating mass of most good quality steel idlers up to 800mm roll face.

When the idler is assembled, the roll face is CNC machined at 2000rpm to an almost true centre (TIR 0.08mm)

The Nylocomp Shell is manufactured from YIGA-P, which has a very low co-efficient of friction meaning

that most conveyed materials will not stick in wet dry and/or dusty applications.

YIGA-P is a self lubricating, in the unlikely event of bearing failure, the belt will slide over the idler with minimal wear to the belt or the idler. Due to YIGA-Ps self lubricating properties and low co-efficient of friction, if an idler stands, noise and heat generation is very low.

The Nylocomp YIGA-P Shell is extremely hard wearing, far out performing steel and conventional poly idlers. The 12-16mm wall thickness ensures that there is no comparison in aggressive high speed, high tension conveying applications.

Due to the extremely hard wearing YIGA-P roll face and unique idler design, if a bearing fails, recycle the idler by simply removing the sealing arrangement and replace the bearings.

YIGA-P has a similar impact strength to steel and combined with our substantial 12-16mm shell thickness our custom built impact idlers are designed for extreme applications.

The YIGA-P sound absorbing properties make it ideal for noise sensitive applications.
