Abstract: A fuel-cell stack has a first end plate and a second end plate and a plurality of fuel cells arranged between the end plates. At least one elastic tensioning element is tensioned in the stack direction between the end plates. Furthermore, a re-tensioning element is arranged between the tensioning element and a surface section of the fuel-cell stack. The re-tensioning element has a tensioning body and at least one adjusting element arranged between the tensioning body and the surface section. A distance between the tensioning body and the surface section can be variably adjusted and fixed by the at least one adjusting element.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack is provided comprising a first end plate and a second end plate between which a plurality of fuel cells is arranged. At least one tensioning or tensile element is tensioned in the stack direction between the end plates. Inlet and outlet ports for operating resources are arranged in first end areas of the first end plates and in second end areas of the second end plates. At least one additional elastic tensioning element is tensioned between first end areas and/or second end areas of the end plates.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack is provided comprising a first end plate and a second end plate between which a plurality of fuel cells is arranged. At least one elastic tensioning element is tensioned in the stack direction between the end plates. Furthermore, the fuel cell stack has at least one rotatably mounted mounting shaft. At least one end section of at least one tensioning element is fixed to the rotating mounting shaft. Moreover, the rotatable mounting shaft is connected to the fuel cell stack via a tensioned torsion spring. The torsion spring brings about an automatic retensioning of the tensioning element.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack is provided comprising a first end plate and a second end plate between which a plurality of fuel cells is arranged. At least one elastic tensioning element is tensioned in a stack direction between the end plates. According to the invention, a section of the at least one tensioning element is arranged between a surface section of the fuel cell stack and a retensioning element, wherein a distance between the retensioning element and the surface section can be variably adjusted and set. In this way, the tensioning element can be stretched in a targeted manner by means of the retensioning element and as such the compressive tensile force acting on the fuel cell stack can be increased. A vehicle is also provided comprising such a fuel cell stack.
