A non-drive roller, often located at the receiving end of a conveyor, featuring a durable, lagged surface.
This **Tail Pulley Roller** is a crucial non-drive component in a belt conveyor system, typically positioned at the end where material is loaded. Its primary functions include returning the conveyor belt and providing a means to adjust belt tension and tracking. The drum is often **rubber-lagged** with a pattern (like the diamond shown) to help shed material, prevent buildup, and improve belt-to-pulley traction. It's built for durability and smooth rotation, ensuring the longevity and proper alignment of the conveyor belt. Unlike a Head Pulley, it generally does not transmit the driving force.
