Feature EX400 Forged Idler Standard Cast Idler Service Life 8,000-10,000 hrs 3,000-5,000 hrs Failure Mode Gradual wear Sudden cracking Load Capacity 25% higher Standard Best For Mining, rock General earthmoving When to Upgrade to Forged Idlers?
▸ Operating in rocky/abrasive environments
▸ Experiencing frequent cast idler failures
▸ Running high-hour machines (>15,000 hrs)
▸ Needing to reduce unplanned downtimeMaintenance Guide
Every 250 hrs: Clean debris from flanges
Every 1,000 hrs: Check bearing play (<1.5mm)
Replace When:
Flange wear exceeds 35% thickness
Visible spalling on rolling surface
Bearing rotation becomes rough
Pro Tip: Pair with EX400 forged idlers and hardened track chains for complete undercarriage protection.
