Abstract: A tensioner device for a belt or chain defines a housing defining a bore with a plunger disposed in the bore. A spring is engaged with the plunger for biasing the plunger in an outward direction. The housing further includes an oil chamber connected to an oil passage in communication with the oil chamber for delivering pressurized oil to the oil chamber, wherein when the oil chamber is pressurized the pressurized oil applies a counter force opposing a force of the spring.

Abstract: A system for maintaining tension in a drive belt comprises a first belt tensioner that comprises a first pulley mounted on a first lever arm, and a second belt tensioner that comprises a second pulley mounted on a second lever arm. The first belt tensioner is configured and positioned to bias the first pulley against the drive belt at a first location following a departure of the drive belt from a pulley coupled to a motor-generator unit and to thereby maintain tension on the drive belt during both driving and driven modes of the motor-generator unit. The second belt tensioner is configured and positioned to bias the second pulley against the drive belt at a second location prior to an approach of the drive belt toward the pulley and to thereby maintain tension on the drive belt at the second location during both driving and driven modes.

Abstract: A tensioner for a power transmission system includes two tensioning arms operatively engaged with a strand of either the chain or the belt of the power transmission system. The upper end of each tensioning arm is connected to a one way rotational clutch which is pivotally mounted between the upper ends of the tensioning arms. The one way clutch rotates in one direction in response to changing chain loads to adjust the tension substantially equally on both strands at the same time. In order to prevent over-tensioning, a damping means is included in the one-way clutch. When a pre-determined overload threshold is reached, the amount of torque required to overcome the coefficient of friction of a spring in the damper allows the one way clutch to slip in the direction opposite from its normal rotational direction, thereby relieving the overload condition on the chain.

Abstract: In the timing drive of an internal combustion engine, cyclic variations in chain tension, in the span traveling from a camshaft sprocket toward the crankshaft sprocket are leveled by synchronous reciprocating movement of a guide in sliding contact with that span of chain. The maximum rearward speed of the guide coincides approximately with the maximum tension in the span of chain, and the maximum forward speed of the guide coincides approximately with the minimum tension in the chain.
