摘要:
A tensioning device for the endless drive in a timing system on a motor vehicle, which has a tensioning piston that can move along a path axis in a housing, within which a pressure chamber is located which houses a working medium which brings about a movement of the tensioning piston in the housing and has a valve seat, connected to the exterior of the tensioning piston by an outlet and accommodating a valve body essentially matching the shape of the valve seat. The valve body is tapered along the axial path axis to the outlet, which allows for a large chamber between the valve body and the valve seat. The path that the working medium, on bleeding gas bubbles from the same, takes from the pressure chamber to the outlet is longer, which increases the hydraulic resistance and restricts and limits emptying of working medium from the tensioning piston.
