features

• Chain and belt life is increased as much as 30% by eliminating slap and vibration, while minimizing drive bearing and shaft wear
• Self-adjusting
• no periodic adjustments are necessary
• Because of the elastomeric elements, the tensioner has the capacity to absorb shock loads and vibrations in the drive
• Simple to mount, with only one bolt required to do so, and has 360° positioning flexibility
• Maintenance-free
• since the tensioner uses no metal-to-metal connections, no lubrication is required
• provides silent operation
• Dirt and grime will not affect operation, so it can be used indoors or out from -40 °F to 180 °F (-40 °C to 80 °C)
• Check to be certain that the idler sprocket or pulley will still clear the space available between the base housing and the mounting hole
• Note: Idlers, sprockets and pulley accessories are available online
