Accessory Drive Tensioners: Ensuring Optimal Efficiency and Durability

The accessory drive tensioners offered by Ever-Power (EP) are specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industrial market. With a comprehensive range of automatic tensioners, EP provides reliable solutions for various front end drive arrangements in industrial and commercial vehicle applications. Our tensioners have been extensively validated, ensuring a high degree of safety and confidence for customers.

At EP, we understand the importance of system-level performance, which is why our tensioners work in conjunction with our belts, dampers, decouplers, and other components. By reducing vibration and friction losses, our tensioners contribute to optimal efficiency, resulting in improved overall system performance.

EP tensioners stand out with their original flat-wire spring design, engineered to offer a wider operating range and less tension variation. This innovative design minimizes the risk of premature accessory bearing failure caused by excessive tension and reduces the chances of belt noise, slippage, and poor accessory performance resulting from low tension as the belt stretches and wears over time. In addition to the flat-wire spring tensioners, EP also manufactures round spring tensioners to cater to different application requirements.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior operating range and tension stability
• Reduced risk of premature accessory bearing failure
• Minimized belt noise, slippage, and poor performance
• Enhanced system-level efficiency

Common Use Scenarios:

Accessory drive tensioners find widespread application in various industries, including:

• Automotive
• Heavy machinery
• Power generation
• Oil and gas
• Manufacturing

Installation, Maintenance, and Repair:

Installing an accessory drive tensioner typically involves the following steps:

1. Ensure the engine is turned off and cooled down
2. Locate the tensioner position and identify the mounting points
3. Remove any necessary components obstructing access to the tensioner
4. Loosen and adjust the tensioner accordingly
5. Tighten the mounting bolts securely
6. Double-check the tensioner's alignment and operation

To maintain and repair an accessory drive tensioner, regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper tension and alignment. If any signs of wear, damage, or abnormal noise are detected, immediate replacement is advised to prevent further complications.
