Clamping device for traction drive of internal-combustion engine, has locking device comprising locking mechanism with locking member that is in contact with swivel arm, where locking mechanism is connected to housing section

摘要

The device has a swivel arm (2) hinged to a base part (1), and a rolling device supported by the swivel arm. A clamping spring device (3) produces resetting force for clamping the swivel arm against the base part, where the resetting force counteracts reaction forces at a traction element. The base part is provided with a housing section (1b) that engages the clamping spring device, and a locking device (5) comprises a locking mechanism with a locking member (6). The locking mechanism is connected to the housing section, and the locking member is in contact with the swivel arm. An independent claim is also included for a method for adjusting spring-back behavior of a rolling device of a traction drive for an internal-combustion engine.
