Universal Tensioners
Universal tensioners are automatic tensioners for tensioning of chains or belts during operation.
They consist of a lever that is flexibly mounted between two squares and attached to the base of the machine. The elastic part consists of rubber elastic segments. The tensioning pulleys of the chains or belts are attached to the lever with a screw.
It is a universal flexible element that can simultaneously perform the functions of suspension, guidance, tensioning and damping.
Tensioning Arms
Tensioning arms for maintaining proper tension of industrial roller chains or belts. Available as threaded arms for rear mounting or with a central screw for external mounting.
Chain Tensioners
Sliding blocks, sprockets with screw and idler sprockets for tensioning of industrial roller chains during operation.
Belt Tensioners
Rollers with screw and tensioning pulleys for tensioning of common smaller profiles industrial V-belts during operation.
Tensioner Construction
- FE tighteners element with central screw for external mounting
- OVR tensioning sliding block
- Fixing screw with nut and washer
Typical Applications
Universal tensioners are designed for tensioning of common industrial roller chains or belts in all industries.
Typical application is small and medium-sized roller chains – for conveyors, roller conveyors, handling equipment, construction machinery, in the woodworking industry, packaging machines or in the food industry.
Properties
- They perform damping, guiding and tensioning function
- Simple construction, easy installation
- They extend service life and reduce wear
- They reduce vibration and transmission noise
- Operating temperatures from −40 °C to +80 °C
- Maintenance-free design
Materials
Body and lever is made of steel, rubber elements are made of highly durable rubber.
