Belt Tensioner with Damping Element and Method for Tensioning a Belt Tensioner using Said

摘要

A Tensioner (10, 70, 110) for Tensioning a Belt includes a support housing (12, 84, 130) that defines a Cavity part lmenos in Spring (16). A Damping element (24, 72, 112) with a First Support Surface Friction (56, 96, 98, 164, 166) is at least partially arranged in the Cavity of Spring (16).(14) an arm pivotally Mounted to the support housing (12, 84, 130) has a Second Surface Friction Support (58, 114).A Spring (18, 118) is located in the Cavity of Spring (16) and is operatively connected with the arm (14) and the Damping element (24, 72, 112) The Damping element to pivot around a Pivot so that the first Surface Friction (56, 96, 98; 164, 166) of the absorber (24, 72,112) is contrasted against the second Surface Friction Support (58, 114) of the arm (14) to cushion the relative movement between the arm and the support housing (12, 84, 130).
