An idler pulley in a car is a pulley that doesn't directly transmit power from one shaft to another but is used to guide and tension a belt or chain. It helps to maintain the correct tension and alignment of the belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing belt slippage or breakage.
Guiding and Tensioning:
Idler pulleys are positioned on the slack side of a belt to guide it and help maintain tension. They can also be used to redirect the belt's path, which is particularly useful in complex belt systems.
