Adjust slackness in the chain to enable continuous and proper chain operation.
Excessive chain sag can cause vibration and excessive noise and prevent the chain from properly engaging the sprocket, which prevents the chain from operating smoothly.
To eliminate the chain slackness, we provide four types of chain tensioners: TH type, TCS type, ETS type and TA type.

Using Chain Tensioners

There are four types of Tsubaki Chain Tensioners: TCS type, ETS type, TA type, and TH type.
Click on each below to learn more about how to use them.

Relationship between chain tensioner displacement and pressing force
・There are two coil springs located inside the chain tensioner body. Using the elasticity of these springs, the idler sprocket or plastic shoe on the end of the tensioner pushes down on the chain, thereby adjusting its slack.
・Click the button below to see the ways to express the relationship between the displacement of the idler sprocket or plastic shoe and the acting pressing force. Use these as a guide for installation and adjustment.
