Abstract

An adjustable belt idler arrangement is provided which permits the axial position of the belt idler to be adjusted while the belt is running to achieve proper alignment of the idler with the belt under dynamic operating conditions. The idler can be adjusted during running of the belt even though the idler is disposed in a relatively inaccessible location.
