Crown Idler Gear CR073446 – E-5013

Positioned between two other gears in the Crown lift truck drivetrain, this idler gear transfers rotation from one to the next while holding their spacing and preserving the direction of drive. Riding on its own shaft, it keeps the gear train meshed and turning without adding a driven load of its own.

Clean, evenly worn teeth matter here, because wear at the idler introduces noise, backlash, and uneven power transfer through the whole assembly. A chipped or worn idler can also accelerate wear on the gears it meshes with, so replacing it at the first sign of trouble protects the rest of the train. Fresh, full-profile teeth restore quiet, precise meshing.

Match the tooth count, pitch, and bore to the gear being replaced, since an idler must mesh with its neighbors and seat correctly on its shaft to run true.
