Easy-Ten Type S Chain Tensioner with Idler Sprocket, 06B1

The Easy-Ten Type S chain tensioner with sprocket carries a 15-tooth idler sprocket that runs on the chain. It is for 06B-1, 06B-2, 08B-1, 08B-2 and 10B-1 chain (3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 inch pitch).

The idler sprocket bears on the slack side of the drive and the tensioner takes up slack as the chain wears and lengthens. The sprocket outside diameter and pitch circle diameter are for each model.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the model by chain size and number of strands. The sprocket pitch must match your chain. The heavy tension box is the standard setting and a light tension box, ET-SNUL, as an option. See the Easy-Ten ET-SNUL Type S light tension box.

Spring force ranges are over the 40mm stroke. The tensioner is supplied in high tension unless low tension is specified.

Fit the tensioner on the slack side of the chain with the sprocket meshing with the chain. Check the chain tension and the sprocket teeth at regular maintenance intervals.

Dimensions F, E and H are.
