The timing chain tensioner ensures the correct and necessary tension of the timing chain that surrounds the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket. It exerts full control, making the chain run smoothly, preventing it from rattling and coming off the sprockets. In addition, it protects other elements such as alternators or water pumps against failure. The chain tensioner acts on the timing belt or timing chain of the engine, guiding and tensioning it so that it is always in the optimal tension state.
