Patented "flat spring" Design that's engineered to provide less operating range variations in tension. This reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension when a new belt is installed. It also lessens the risk of belt squeal and slippage, or poor accessory performance caused by low tension after the belt begins to stretch and wear.

All components of the Dayco Automatic Belt Tensioner have been selected for their individual characteristicssuch as weight, wear protection, lubricity, overall strength and deflection rates. Typical component materials include high-grade spring steel, diecast aluminium and engineered resisns. These materials and engineeringexpertise have resulted in the design of a tensioner, which will deliver the proper output torgue required to maintain belt tension throughtout the servise life of the system.
