Abstract: Tensioner for an accessory drive of a motor vehicle each have a support element adapted to be fixed on an electric machine, an intermediate element carried by the support element and rotating with respect thereto about a first fixed axis, a rigid tensioner element rotating with respect to the intermediate element about a second axis parallel to the first axis, a pair of tensioner pulleys carried by the tensioner element and adapted to cooperate with respective branches of an endless drive element of the drive positioned on opposite sides with respect to the electric machine, and a spring acting between the support element and the intermediate element to push the tensioner pulleys into contact with the endless drive element.

Abstract: Accessory drives for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle are disclosed that have a first pulley mounted on the drive shaft, a second pulley mounted on the shaft of an electric machine, a belt cooperating with the first and second pulleys, an adjustable-position pulley, and a tensioner. The tensioner has a first tensioning pulley and a second tensioning pulley and at least one spring that biases the first and second tensioning pulleys into contact with respective branches of the belt. The adjustable-position pulley cooperates with the belt to vary the installation tension thereof and is one of the first and second tensioning pulleys, one of the first and second pulleys, or another pulley in the accessory drive.

Abstract: The dual mass flywheel comprises a spring assembly (4; 104; 112; 128; 129), if necessary, with two stages of which one can include a spiral spring. Furthermore, the dual mass flywheel comprises a friction damping system (111) that applies torque independently of the rotational speed of the flywheel.

Abstract: A torque converter assembly having a hub for connection with an input shaft of a gearbox, a lock-up clutch module for selective connection with a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, a turbine module of a torque converter rigidly connected to the lock-up clutch module and rotatable with respect to the hub, and a spiral spring isolator to resiliently connect the hub with the lock-up clutch module and the turbine module.

Abstract: A tensioner for a belt drive, including a rigid element rotatably connected around a first axis and a couple of idle pulleys supported by a rigid element on opposing parts of axis and adapted to cooperate with respective sections of a belt of belt drive. The tensioner also includes a mobile element hinged to a second fixed axis carrying the first axis.

Abstract: Described herein is a tensioner for a belt of a drive of a motor vehicle, comprising: at least two idle pulleys designed to co-operate with respective belt runs of the belt; two arms bearing the pulleys; and elastic means acting at least indirectly on the arms for tensioning the belt, in which the arms are constrained to one another, and at least one of the arms is hinged to a first mobile axis.
