FMC Technologies and CEMA recognize that many new material handling conveyor systems are being designed and fabricated throughout the world requiring substantially greater tonnage capabilities, exceeding 10,000 MTH in certain instances. FMC is in the forefront of this effort to lead the way as the first idler manufacturer in the world to offer the F Series line. FMC Technologies' Link-Belt® Series F5000 belt conveyor idler line, boasts load ratings up to 80 percent greater than CEMA E idlers to handle the most extreme material capacities and lump sizes.
FMC's top of the line Link-Belt Series F5000 idler portfolio features rugged 20, 35 and 45 degree troughed and return idlers supplied with seven-inch or oversized eight-inch diameter rollers in belt widths ranging from 48" - 120" belt widths. The Link-Belt F5000 idler provides extended, trouble-free service life for your belt conveyor equipment by offering oversized 1.75" bore, Series 25500, precision tapered roller bearings. Bearing life of the F5000 is increased by the use of solid, cold drawn steel 1.75" diameter shafts that minimize deflection and increase load ratings. Oversized, stepped shafts are also available in 2" or 2.44" diameters to maximize idler load ratings for the most severe conveyor applications. The Series F5000 idler features an exclusive, full-length center tube that is precision bored for bearing and seal seats to ensure perfect bearing/shaft alignment. The entire unit is then continuously welded robotically, ensuring an integral, airtight unit wherein contaminants and corrosion cannot enter.
