TENSION ARM
A tensioner arm holds and applies force to a belt tensioner pulley, which keeps a drive belt (serpentine or timing) under proper tension. It’s part of the belt tensioner assembly, which ensures that the belt remains tight enough to efficiently transmit power to various engine accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump.
A tensioner arm mechanism is a dynamic system designed to apply consistent tension to a belt to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here’s a breakdown of how the mechanism works:
SUITABLE FOR:
A tensioner arm maintains proper tension on a drive belt using a spring-loaded or adjustable mechanism.
It’s commonly used in automotive engines, industrial machines, and conveyor systems.
This ensures consistent power transmission and reduces belt wear or slippage.
