Tail Pulley / Non-Drive Pulley

The Tail Pulley, also referred to as the Non-Drive Pulley, is located at the loading or return end of a conveyor belt system. Unlike the drive (head) pulley, the tail pulley is not powered; its primary function is to redirect the belt back toward the drive pulley, maintain proper belt tension, and support belt tracking. Engineered for durability and precision, tail pulleys are critical for smooth and reliable conveyor performance.

Benefits:

  • Maintains belt alignment and tension

  • Supports smooth belt return movement

  • Reduces belt wear and misalignment

  • Built for long-term reliability and low maintenance

  • Compatible with standard and custom conveyor layouts
