What are tensioners?
In the motorcycle and marine industry, the term “tensioners” often refers to devices or mechanisms used to control the tension of chains, belts, or similar mechanical systems. These tensioners play an important role in maintaining proper tension in the drive systems of vehicles or vessels.
Examples of tensioners
Chain tensioners: In motorcycles and marine engines that use chain transmissions, chain tensioners are used to maintain the correct tension of the chain. This helps prevent irregularities in engine operation and extends the life of the chain.
Belt tensioners: Sometimes, belts are used in motorcycles and marine engines for power transmission. Belt tensioners are used to maintain the correct belt tension, ensuring efficient power transmission.
Tensioners in cooling system mechanisms: In some cases, tensioners are used in belt or chain transmissions that drive components like the water pump in engine cooling systems.
Do you need tensioners?
Tensioners play an important role in maintaining proper engine operation and safety in the motorcycle and marine industries. Their function is to ensure that mechanical parts are maintained in an optimal position to avoid irregularities, part wear, and reduce the risk of failure.
