Abstract
The invention relates to a clamping device (1a) for a traction mechanism (2a). The clamping device (1a) is connected via a spring means (11a) to an actuating lever (10a) which can be adjusted between two end positions. The actuating lever (10a) can be adjusted automatically by means of an actuator (18) in conjunction with a controller (20).
Claims17
A clamping device, for a traction means (4) of a traction mechanism (2a) whose rotatably mounted roller (6a) which is connected to a spring means (11a) bears in a frictionally locking fashion against the traction means (4), the traction mechanism (2a) which is assigned to an internal combustion engine including a drive and an output of a starter generator (26), characterized in that the clamping device (1a) is assigned a pivotable roller lever (7) which is supported on a spring means (11a) and on which the roller (6a) is positioned, and the spring means (11a) is also connected to an actuating lever (10a) which, by means of an actuator (18) in conjunction with a controller (20), pivots the actuating lever (10a) between at least two positions, as a function of an operating state and/or at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine.
The clamping device which prestresses a traction means (4) of a traction mechanism (2b), a rotatably mounted assembly which is supported by a spring means (11b) being provided as a clamping device (1b) and its roller (6b) bearing in a frictionally locking fashion against the traction means (4), the traction drive (2b) which is assigned to the internal combustion engine including a drive and output of the starter generator (26), characterized in that the spring means (11b) is connected at one end to the starter generator (26) and at the other end to a pivotably arranged actuating lever (10b), an actuator (18) pivoting, in conjunction with a controller (20), the actuating lever (10b) automatically between at least two positions or end positions as a function of an operating state and/or at least an operating parameter of the internal combustion engine.
