    摘要: Described herein is a tensioner device, and assemblies and methods of manufacture thereof. The tensioner device may be adapted to create a target tension in an associated belt based on the measured length of the belt. The tensioner device may include an engagement member having a surface adapted to engage the belt and a biasing element associated with the engagement member. The biasing element has a loaded configuration that causes the engagement member to exert a force on the belt to create the target tension. In one example, the biasing element is manipulated into a loaded configuration so that the biasing element exhibits a deflection and an effective spring rate for creating the target tension. The belt may be trapped within the tensioner device with a bracket assembly enclosing one or more runs of belt relative to the engagement member.

    摘要: Described herein is a tensioner device, and assemblies and methods of manufacture thereof. The tensioner device may be adapted to create a target tension in an associated belt based on the measured length of the belt and/or measure characteristics of a biasing element, such as a stiffness of the biasing element. A biasing element may exhibit a measured stiffness and be associated with a damping assembly and a base of the tensioner device. An engagement member may be associated with the damping assembly for movement therewith and angularly displaceable relative to the base and the biasing element to tension the belt. In one example, the biasing element may be connected to the damping assembly at a position determined by the measured stiffness to define a value of the angular displacement of the engagement member relative to the biasing element and create a target tension in the belt.
