Belt Tensioners
Belt tensioners are automatic tensioners for tensioning of 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 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.
RP (Rollers with Screw)
V-belt tensioner elements consisting of a plastic roller with a bearing and a fastening screw for fastening to the universal tensioner lever.
RU (Rollers with Screw)
V-belt tensioner elements consisting of a steel roll with a bearing and a fastening screw for fastening to the universal tensioner lever.
SP (Tensioning Pulley)
Cast iron pulleys for V-belts mounted on lubricated bearings. They can be supplied with a different profile or for timing belts on request.
Tensioners Construction
- RE tensioning arm with thread for rear mounting
- SP Tensioning pulley
- Fixing screw with nut and washer
