Tensioner roller serves to tension the timing belt. As a result, manufacturing tolerances and elongations are easily compensated. Moreover, tensioner roller allows making a larger wrapping angle. This makes it possible to achieve a better power transfer. This can be used to reduce the belt drive. Also it is possible to shorten the axle spacing. Tensioner roller gives the main tension that automatically compensates small changes. If a larger tensioning is required, this must be done manually.

If the tensioner is improperly installed, this can cause belt slips or rattling sounds. This problem can be easily solved with the help of the residual voltage. If there is a failure, it is necessary to replace this car part. Moreover, it is necessary to remove the tensioning. When the drive belt has been removed, the old tensioner can be dismantled. Then the spare car part can be installed. It is important to pay attention to the correct part’s number. Usually there are many different tensioner rollers inside one model range. An experienced motor mechanic can replace the tensioner roller without visiting repair shop.

Before starting the engine, it is necessary carefully to check the tensioner roller. The final performance evaluation test is done when the engine is on. There can be several tensioner rollers in the vehicle: on the fuel injection pump or on the camshaft timing. Whenever a drive belt is used, also a tensioner roller may be installed.
