In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a damper 11 is provided to increase the damping force of the tensioner and to improve the stability of the operation of the tensioner, but this is not a limitation of the tensioner, and some tensioners do not include this member.
The base 2 has a radially extending protrusion a, and the protrusion a has a positioning hole e (which is blocked in fig. 2 and can be seen in fig. 4) and an indication mark f, which in this embodiment is exemplified by a groove; the indication mark can also be a round hole. The rotary arm 6 is provided with a projection B, and the projection B is provided with an identification hole c (overlapping with the positioning hole e in fig. 2). Typically, before the tensioner is mounted to the engine, the identification hole c is aligned with the positioning hole e, the positioning pin 7 is inserted, and the positioning pin 7 overcomes the biasing force of the biasing member 3, i.e., the torsion spring, to fix the fixed part and the rotating part of the tensioner relatively; when the tensioner is assembled to the engine, the dowel pin 7 is pulled out, the biasing member forces the tensioner arm to rotate, the bias adjustment member is adjusted, and the tensioner is fixed so that the tensioner arm rotates to a nominal position under the coaction of the belt, at which time the identification hole c on the tensioner tab B is aligned with the groove on the tab a, as shown in fig. 4, and a determination can be made as to whether the tensioner is in the nominal position.
