Abstract: A chain tensioning device which combats natural build-up of chain slack. In controlling the chain slack, the torque at which a chain jumps occurs is delayed resulting in a higher jump torque performance.

Abstract: A hydraulic tensioner (10) and method of manufacture can include a housing (12), a piston (16) moveable from a retracted position toward an extended position with respect to the housing (12) in response to fluid pressure, and a tensioner spring (36) biasing the piston (16) toward the extended position. The hydraulic tensioner (10) can include a modular sleeve (14) supported by the housing (12) and defining an aperture (15) for slidably receiving the piston (16) and defining an expandable fluid chamber (18). The housing (12) can provide a fluid passage (39) for fluid communication between the expandable fluid chamber (18) and a source of pressurized fluid. The housing (12) can have a seat (25) in fluid communication with the aperture (15). An end (38) of the modular sleeve (14) can be seated with respect to a seat (25) of the housing (12) to seal the fluid passage (39).

Abstract: An automatic mechanical tensioner assembly with a shipping and installation position in which a collar engages a fixed hollow sleeve, limiting or securing a moveable tensioner housing in place against the force of a spring. The collar has a semicircular body defining an inner circumference extending from a first end to a second end of the body. The semicircular body has two axially extending flanges defining a cutout, and a collar tab extending radially from the semicircular body. In the shipping and installation position, the first end of the collar engages with a delivery groove of the hollow sleeve, biasing the moveable housing towards an anti-rotation washer engaged with an end of the fixed hollow sleeve and compressing the spring.

Abstract: A tooth jump protection device is used to control chain slack and delay the torque at which chain jump occurs, thus increasing jump torque performance. The tooth jump protection device is preferably mounted to the transfer case.
