Abstract: A tensioner for tensioning a chain or belt span which uses two pistons. The movement of the two pistons may be coupled together. The first piston provides damping to the chain span and a second piston provides variable, dominant and automatically adjusting spring force to the chain span. The tensioner automatically adjusts the mean tension force to keep the chain or belt tension as low as possible without sacrificing chain or belt control, significantly improving drive efficiency at new chain or belt conditions and conditions with dynamic loads.

Abstract: One or more radial holes in the body of the hydraulic tensioner are used to control outward hydraulic flow restriction from the hydraulic pressure chamber within the piston. The one or more holes can be arranged in different ways to allow the piston position to alter the outward oil flow of the tensioner.
