AIRFORM AXIS 360 Belt tracking idler

Tracking that acts when the belt moves off centre

AIRFORM AXIS 360 is a belt tracking idler for the return strand. It stays passive while the belt runs true and corrects it with little force when it drifts.

  • Passive when running true: the idler and belt do not wear
  • Early response: mistracking is corrected before it grows
  • Low-maintenance design

Overview

What is AIRFORM AXIS 360?

AIRFORM AXIS 360 is a belt tracking idler that helps keep the conveyor belt correctly aligned. On misaligned belts, wear increases, maintenance and repairs become more frequent, the belt edges are damaged and a risk of workplace accidents arises. Because AIRFORM AXIS 360 keeps the belt centred, these problems are reduced.

Unlike conventional guiding systems, AIRFORM AXIS 360 stays passive while the belt runs true and acts only when the belt starts to drift from its ideal position, which avoids unnecessary wear. It responds as soon as the belt moves slightly off centre and guides it with very low friction and small forces; it does not wait for the guide roller to tilt before correcting.

AIRFORM AXIS 360 works on the return strand and can also be used on lines running in reverse. It is easy to install, quickly ready for use and needs little maintenance. Used together with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE, it reduces spillage at transfer points; with a lower risk of belt damage, belt repairs and costly downtime are also reduced.

Features

Key features

How does it work?

  1. Passive positionAIRFORM AXIS 360 does not act while the belt runs true.
  2. Detecting mistrackingThe idler responds when the belt moves slightly off centre.
  3. Centring the beltThe idler guides the belt back to centre with low friction and little force.

Benefits

  • Easy to install and quickly ready for use
  • Low-maintenance design
  • Made from materials that withstand harsh operating conditions
  • Can be used on lines running in reverse
  • Keeps the belt centred on the return strand
  • Less spillage at transfer points when used with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE
  • Avoids unnecessary wear
  • Lower risk of belt damage at low cost
  • Fewer belt repairs and less costly downtime

Applications

  • Return strand

    AIRFORM AXIS 360 guides the belt back to centre on the return strand, where mistracking damages the edges.

  • Lines with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE

    Used together with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE, AIRFORM AXIS 360 reduces spillage at transfer points.

  • Reversing lines

    AIRFORM AXIS 360 is also used on lines running in reverse.

What is AIRFORM AXIS 360?
AIRFORM AXIS 360 is a belt tracking idler for the return strand. It stays passive while the belt runs true and corrects it with little force when it drifts.
Can AIRFORM AXIS 360 be used on lines running in reverse?
Yes. AIRFORM AXIS 360 can also be used on lines running in reverse.
When does AIRFORM AXIS 360 act?
AIRFORM AXIS 360 stays passive while the belt runs true and responds when the belt moves slightly off centre.
How does AIRFORM AXIS 360 differ from conventional guiding systems?
AIRFORM AXIS 360 stays passive while the belt runs true and responds as soon as the belt moves slightly off centre; it does not wait for the guide roller to tilt before correcting. It guides the belt with very low friction and small forces.
Does AIRFORM AXIS 360 need maintenance?
AIRFORM AXIS 360 needs little maintenance and is made from materials that withstand harsh operating conditions.
Can AIRFORM AXIS 360 be used together with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE?
Yes. Used together with AIRFORM SEAL SIDE, AIRFORM AXIS 360 reduces spillage at transfer points.
Why does belt tracking matter?
On misaligned belts, wear increases, maintenance and repairs become more frequent and a risk of workplace accidents arises. Correct alignment regulates the production flow and helps carry products without damage and lower maintenance costs.
Where on a conveyor line is AIRFORM AXIS 360 used?
AIRFORM AXIS 360 is used at the return strand of a conveyor line. Mistracking (the belt running off to one side) damages the belt edges; material that falls onto the inner face of the return belt can get into the tail pulley and idlers.
