Abstract Due to a necessity to make automotive components more lightweight, resin idler pulleys are being used in a wider range of applications. It was found that in the case of resin idler pulleys which contact the back side of belts, wear increases signifi cantly depending on the belt type used, and, as emerging countries have many regions with unpaved roads, there is a demand to improve the dust wear resistance of this type of resin idler pulley. By improving the phenolic resin and optimizing the amount of inorganic fi llers, we have developed a material for idler pulleys which satisfi es these requirements.
