TENSIONER OF IDLER PULLEY ROTATING ON INNER RACE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; belt tension adjusting devices.

SUBSTANCE: proposed tensioner has base with first axle, turnable lever higher-connected with first axle and provided with second axle, pulley fitted on turnable lever on bearing. Pulley is furnished with surface carrying the belt and disk connected to bearing inner race, release member, one end of which is hinge-connected with second axle. Opposite end is made for hinge connection with mounting surface to counteract force of load on belt acting onto pulley by force developed by release member.
