Tension Parts

Roll Rings

• Related terms: chain tensioner rings, chain roll rings, polyamide tension rings, chain guide rings
• Wear-resistant plastic rings designed to run on the chain and fit onto a tension arm in place of a sprocket. They provide quiet, low-maintenance chain tensioning and are a cost-effective option for light to medium duty drives, particularly at lower speeds.

Tension Arms

• Related terms: tensioner arms, chain tensioners, belt tensioners, spring loaded tension arms
• Spring-loaded or rubber-suspension arms that automatically apply and maintain the correct tension on chain and belt drives. Fitted with a tension sprocket, roller or roll ring, they take up slack as chains and belts wear or stretch, reducing vibration, noise and maintenance.

Tension Rollers

• Related terms: belt tension rollers, idler rollers, tensioner rollers, jockey rollers
• Smooth rollers fitted to a tension arm or bracket to apply pressure to the back of a belt or chain. They help maintain correct tension, guide the drive around obstacles and reduce slippage in belt and chain drives across industrial and agricultural machinery.

Tension Sprockets

• Related terms: chain tension sprockets, idler sprockets, tensioner sprockets, jockey sprockets
• Free-running sprockets with integral bearings that mount onto a tension arm to engage the chain and take up slack. They keep roller chain running smoothly at the correct tension, extending chain and sprocket life in conveyors, agricultural equipment and industrial drives.
