Idler pulleys are used to take up slack, change the direction of transmission, or provide clutching action. Idler pulleys are rollers that do not produce any mechanical advantage, nor transmit power to a shaft. Idler pulleys are used to lead a chain around a bend or to take up slack in a drive chain.
