CAST IDLER WHEEL

An idler wheel (100) includes a hub (108), an outer rim (110), and a pair of side plates (112, 112a) that form an interior cavity (126) radially between the outer rim (110) and the hub (108), and axially between the pair of side plates (112, 112a). The first side plate (112) defines a maximum side p...

Zusammenfassung:	An idler wheel (100) includes a hub (108), an outer rim (110), and a pair of side plates (112, 112a) that form an interior cavity (126) radially between the outer rim (110) and the hub (108), and axially between the pair of side plates (112, 112a). The first side plate (112) defines a maximum side plate axial thickness (138) disposed radially next to the hub (108) in a cross-sectional plane (140) containing a radial direction (104) and an axis of rotation (102), and a minimum side plate thickness (142) disposed radially next to the outer rim (110). A ratio of the maximum thickness (138) to the minimum thickness (142) ranges from 1.325 to 1.900. The idler wheel (100) further comprises a rib (124) in the interior cavity (126) extending from the first side plate (112) to the second side plate (112a) in a cross-sectional plane (300) containing the radial direction (104) and the axis of rotation (102), and the rib (124) defines a rib aperture (302) extending circumferentially through the rib (124).
