Members bolty58 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Surely a fixed pivot tensioner is safer? No mate. I am certain that a small bucket is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That is fantastic. Yep, chain far too slack anyway but it illustrates the point. Could do well in applications where the chain is dealing with energy pulses like in an engine on idle etc and reduce the snatch which mechanical tensioner sometimes struggle with and have to overcome them with strong springs which then load the chain too much.

Juan.Kerr Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Serious question from a non-engineering type. Would it still work if the fixed sprockets (?) were different sizes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaarsh Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Serious question from a non-engineering type. Would it still work if the fixed sprockets (?) were different sizes ? Nah would need to be held in place somehow, like a bike's gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatty Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 A beauty of engineering is that it can't be bullshitted or manipulated. Things work or they don't and it's very black and white. That often doesn't fit in with the modern world where so many people talk shite for a living. Engineering rocks and a Viagra packed fully fledged stonker for me.
