Tensioning Device
A tensioning device is a mechanical component used to apply and maintain controlled tension in a system, such as belts, cables, or ropes. Its primary function is to ensure proper alignment and tension, preventing slipping, slack, or excessive strain that could lead to equipment failure or inefficiency. Tensioning devices are common in machinery like conveyor belts, garage door springs, and sports equipment. They often include mechanisms like springs, screws, or hydraulic systems to adjust tension precisely and keep it consistent over time, ensuring optimal performance and safety of the system they are integrated with.
