Chain Tensioner / Idler wheels

Chain tensioner and FR idler sprocket: essential parts for chain drives
A large amount of chain slack can cause vibration and noise, and can lead to poor meshing with the sprocket, preventing smooth chain transmission.
Tsubaki chain tensioners adjust chain slack to maintain normal chain transmission.
The FR idler sprocket has a hub bearing, which transmits stable rotation.

FR idler sprocket

The hub bearing transmits stable rotation.
A wide variety of models are available. Can also be used as an idler for the CT-TH type chain tensioner.
*Two types: ball bearing specification and oil-less bush specification

Application Examples

Prevents sagging when the shaft distance is long

Intermediate idler for multi-shaft drive

When the chain winding angle is insufficient
