- Flexible Design: Compatible with any small drive, featuring both slot and pivot designs.
- Convenient Integration: Ready-to-use with minimal installation effort, supported by available CAD drawings and 3D models.
- Cost-Effective: Standard catalog items save on design and tooling costs.
- Fast Shipping: All York Industries timing belt tensioners ship within a week from the purchase, ensuring you can swiftly implement them into your drive systems.
Superior Adaptability for Easy Installation
York Industries' timing belt tensioner is crafted to seamlessly integrate with various small synchronous drives, thanks to its innovative slot and pivot designs. This adaptability facilitates precise center distance adjustments using standard stock timing belt lengths, simplifying both installation and field servicing—even in fractional horsepower systems.
Diverse Range of Tensioners
York's extensive range of tensioners includes four distinctive types, each available in two size variations:
Static Tensioners are ideal for power drives with minimal irregular force transmission, where belt stretching and wear are inherently limited. These "lock it and leave it" devices optimize belt tension and compensate for drive tolerances without requiring frequent adjustments.
Dynamic Tensioners, on the other hand, are designed for applications where belt wear is expected. These self-adjusting tensioners compensate for belt wear over time, making them perfect for synchronous drives. They are forgiving of minor installation errors and inaccuracies, simplifying the adjustment and replacement processes.
Precision Manufacturing for Optimal Performance
All York tensioners are meticulously manufactured with precision to ensure exceptional performance and durability. Constructed from stainless steel, they come with a variety of bearings and idlers to match specific design needs. Tested to over a million cycles, these tensioners can be easily integrated into your design, reducing the need for custom engineering and tooling costs.
Optimized Placement for Maximum Efficiency
Proper tensioner placement is crucial for minimizing additional bending stress on the belt. It is generally better to place the tensioner on the belt span with the least tension (slack span on a two-point drive) and on the inside/tooth side of the belt. Outside tensioners can increase belt wrap and are generally quieter, especially in high-speed applications.
