What are the functions of tensioners and rollers ?

Tensioners and rollers play an important role in the operation of the timing system:

• Maintaining proper tension – Prevents the belt or chain from becoming loose, which could disrupt the system’s synchronization.
• Friction Reduction – Rollers reduce mechanical resistance and extend the life of timing system components.
• Drive guidance – Rollers ensure the stability of belts or chains during operation, which translates into smooth engine operation.

How to choose the right tensioners and rollers ?

When selecting tensioners and rollers, there are several key aspects to consider:

• Matching to the vehicle model – Each element must be in line with the design and technical specifications of the vehicle. At Global Parts you will find tensioners and rollers perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others .

• Loose belt or chain – Improper tension can cause them to skip or become damaged.
• Reduced engine performance – Faulty tensioners can disrupt timing, resulting in uneven engine operation.
• Increased component wear – Excessive friction caused by damaged rollers can shorten the life of belts and chains.

How to take care of tensioners and rollers ?
