Functions · To provide belt with tension · To transfer driving force from crankshaft · To prevent belt slippage · To prevent noise caused by off-line belt · To minimize space of belt layout. happens if the tensioner fails? Image result for tensioner bearing When a timing belt tensioner fails, it loses tension. As a result, the timing belt becomes loose and the valve timing can be thrown off. This leads to engine performance issues. So if any suspicion arises that the timing belt tensioner has failed, it's important to check the tensioner and replace it if necessary. tensioner used for? A tensioner maintains the correct amount of tension on the belt at all times throughout its duty cycle. It also helps protect other components such as the alternator and water pump from undue stress and premature failure. In addition, a tensioner is a relatively inexpensive part to replace. tensioner bearing same as idler bearing? Image result for tensioner bearing Of these, in the timing belt mechanism, the type with a slotted hole in the inner ring or a bracket for tension adjustment is sometimes called the "tensioner bearing," and the type without an adjustment mechanism is sometimes called the "idler bearing." Types of tensioners Fixed tensioners , once mounted, cannot be adjusted further. They must be remounted to alter tension. A variation is a specially compounded rubber wheel that can provide some take up while in a fixed position. Adjustable tensioners allow pulleys and sprockets to pivot or slide
