Abstract:
A tensioning device (11) for a traction mechanism drive (1) which is arranged on an internal combustion engine and includes a drive wheel (3) arranged on a drive shaft (30) of an engine (4), one or more additional driving wheels (5, 6), and a continuously revolving traction element (2), which wraps around the drive wheel and additional driving wheels. The tensioning device has two tensioning arms (13, 14) having tensioning wheels (9, 10) mounted thereon, which apply a tensioning force to the traction element in front of and behind the drive wheel in the direction of revolution, and is provided with a spring (16) generating the tensioning force, and a tensioner housing (12), which movably mounts at least one of the tensioning arms to which the force of the spring means is applied. The tensioner housing is mounted on the engine pivotably about the axis (29) of the drive shaft.
Abstract:
A clamping device (1) of a traction mechanism drive, comprising a fixedly positioned base part (2), with which a pivot arm (3) is associated. The pivot arm (3) can be pivoted via a rotary bearing, consisting of a hub (9), a pin (5) of the base part (2) and a sliding bearing (10). A spring means (12) inserted between the base part (2) and the pivot arm (3) exerts an expansion force and effects a non-positive support of a tensioning roller (11) that is connected to the pivot arm (3) on a traction mechanism. In order to damp adjusting movements of the pivot arm (3), a damping device (13) is provided, which comprises two separate spring-loaded friction elements. For this purpose, a friction disk (14) is supported with form fit on the supporting disk (8) connected to the pin (5) of the base part (2) and with friction fit on the pivot arm (3). The damping device (13) further comprises a friction ring (17), which is fixed to the pivot arm (3) and is supported with friction fit on an inner wall (19) of the crucible-shaped base part (2) and which directly cooperates with the spring means (12).

Abstract:
A hydraulic tensioning element for a traction mechanism drive having a cylinder, having an axially movable piston which is guided in the cylinder, a spring element which is arranged between the cylinder and the piston, a pressure space which is formed in the cylinder, and a reservoir, which is formed in the piston, for hydraulic fluid. A valve permits an exchange of the hydraulic fluid between the pressure space and the reservoir as a function of an actuating movement of the piston. The cylinder (2) has a flanged portion (17) which reduces a size of its opening, and a free end of the piston (4) has formed on it an annular section (16) with a diameter which is larger than the piston diameter.

Abstract:
An attachment arrangement (1) for a traction mechanism tensioner (3, 3′) on a motor vehicle is provided, wherein the traction mechanism tensioner (3, 3′) has a tensioning unit (30, 30′) that is in active connection with a lever unit (31, 31′) on which lever unit (31, 31′) a tensioning element (32, 32′) is mounted, and wherein, on the motor vehicle, at least one attachment point (10, 11) is provided both for the tensioning unit (30, 30′) and also for the lever unit (31, 31′). The attachment points (10, 11) are oriented on the motor vehicle and relative to each other such that the attachment points (10, 11) are suitable for the operational attachment of both a hydraulically damped traction mechanism tensioner (3) and also a mechanically damped traction mechanism tensioner (3′).
Abstract:
System and method of detecting an onset of tread rubber separation of a pneumatic tire on a vehicle, in which a permanent first periodic vibration is produced, in at least one of each axle and each wheel, that is proportional to a wheel rotational speed as a speed output signal. The speed output signal is fed to a signal processing device, wherein in the onset of tread rubber separation, there is provided the superimposition on a first vibration or the speed output signal, at least one separately defined periodic vibration characteristic of the onset of tread rubber separation and proportional to the wheel rotational speed. The superimposition of the first periodic vibration with the at least one separately defined periodic vibration characteristic of the onset of tread rubber separation is detected in the signal processing device and a warning signal is produced.
