Selecting the right option
Choose the tensioner by chain size and number of strands. The model must match your chain, so check the chain number on the sprocket or chain before ordering. This range is for triplex chain only.
The catalogue lists the heavy tension box as the standard setting and a light tension box, ET-SNUL, as an option. See the Easy-Ten ET-SNUL Type S light tension box.
Fitting and use
Fit the tensioner on the slack side of the chain with the sliding block bearing on the chain. Set the position so the tensioner has movement available in both directions as the chain wears.
Check the chain tension and the wear on the tensioner at regular maintenance intervals. Replace the chain when the take-up is used up. Contact AIMS if you need help with tension for a specific drive.
Catalogue dimensions are reference only. Contact AIMS to confirm actual measurement if a specific dimension is critical to your application.
