A spring-loaded tensioner is a mechanical device used to maintain tension in a belt or chain system, typically found in engines or machines. It consists of a pulley mounted on a pivot, with a spring that applies force to keep the belt taut. As the belt stretches or the components shift, the tensioner moves to adjust the tension accordingly, ensuring optimal performance and preventing slippage. This automatic adjustment helps extend the lifespan of the belt and related components.
