The Role Of The Tensioner

The function of the tensioner is to adjust the tightness of the belt. Generally, a belt is used instead to avoid worries. Other parts do not have to be replaced. Just do regular maintenance.

In actual use, the tensioner requires a certain torque to maintain proper belt tension, avoid belt slippage, and compensate for belt wear and elongation caused by aging. When the belt tensioner is running, a moving belt can cause vibrations in the tensioner, causing premature belt and tensioner wear. To this end, a resistance mechanism is added to the tensioner. However, since there are many parameters that affect the torque and resistance of the tensioner, and the influence of each parameter is different, the relationship between the components of the tensioner and the torque and resistance is very complicated. The change of torque directly affects the change of resistance and is the main influencing factor of resistance. The main factor affecting the torque is the parameters of the torsion spring. Properly reducing the pitch diameter of the torsion spring can increase the resistance value of the tensioner.
