A hydraulic tensioning element for a traction mechanism drive, having a cylinder, an axially displaceable piston guided in the cylinder, a spring element disposed between the cylinder and piston, a pressure chamber formed in the cylinder, a supply chamber for a hydraulic fluid, the chamber being formed in the piston, and a valve enabling an exchange of the hydraulic fluid between the pressure chamber and the supply chamber as a function of an actuating motion of the piston. The cylinder has a seal disposed in the housing in a stationary manner, a guide ring is provided between the piston and cylinder, and an annular chamber defined by the guide ring, the inside of the cylinder and the outside of the piston, is connected to the supply chamber in the piston via at least one fluid duct.
Hydraulic tensioning element for a traction mechanism drive comprising a cylinder, a piston that is displaceable in an axial direction and that is guided in the cylinder, a spring element arranged between the cylinder and the piston, a pressure space formed in the cylinder, a supply space formed in the piston for a hydraulic fluid, and a valve that allows hydraulic fluid to be exchanged between the pressure space and the supply space as a function of an actuating movement of the piston, the cylinder has a seal arranged fixed in position in the housing, a guide ring is arranged between the piston and the cylinder, and an annular space defined by the guide ring, an inside of the cylinder, and an outside of the piston is connected to the supply space in the piston via at least one fluid duct.
