  • Publication number: 20110207567
    Abstract: A tensioning element of a traction drive, which has a cylindrical housing. In the housing a piston is guided in a linearly displaceable manner. In order to fasten the tensioning element (1), the housing and the piston correspondingly enclose a respective coupling point. Furthermore, a spring means, which at least in regions surrounds a guide sleeve, is arranged between the components made from plastic. The piston is guided in a linearly displaceable manner in the cylinder by a plain bearing bush. For the purpose of positional orientation and for limiting the stroke, a pin, which is inserted in the piston, engages in a longitudinal slot in the cylinder in a form-fitting manner.
