Tensioner & idler bearings

A timing belt camshaft drive system comprises of belt, drive and driven pulleys, idlers, and tensioner. Tensioner & idler are not a power transmission component. They provide the life-of-engine tension control when installed and additional belt wrap.

Cam Shaft

IDLER

Generally, located on the tight-side, it increases the belt-wrap angle of component to prevent tooth skip belt span vibration.

TENSIONER

Generally, located on the slack-side, it contributes synchronous driving cam and crank for providing initial belt tension of system.


Structure

A tensioner is one of automotive components which applies a force to create or maintain engine belt tension. There are several types of tensioners.
Fixed tension type, spring tension type, and hydraulic type.

Function

  • Provides constant tension to the belt to prevent slip or noise
  • Prevents belt tooth skip
  • Dampens belt vibrations caused by engine firing
  • Compensates for effects of engine thermal expansion and contraction on timing drive

Advantage

  • Wide range of applications
    (Timing belt system & accessory belt drive system)
  • GMB tensioner and idler bearings have met rigorous requirements from car manufacturers
