GT Forging Idler for sale

A forged idler is made by shaping and compressing metal under high pressure, resulting in a stronger and more durable component compared to a cast idler, which is made by pouring molten metal into a mold.

In terms of performance, a forged idler generally has better mechanical properties, such as higher strength, toughness, and resistance to wear and fatigue. This makes it more suitable for heavy-duty applications where there is high stress and impact.

On the other hand, a cast idler may have lower strength and toughness compared to a forged idler. It is typically more cost-effective to produce but may be more prone to cracking or deformation under heavy loads.

Overall, a forged idler is often preferred for applications that require high performance and durability.
