ABSTRACT:
An accessory belt tensioner for an automotive engine includes a hub adapted to be fixed to an engine, an arm journaled upon the hub, a tensioner pulley mounted upon the arm, a torsion spring interposed between the arm and hub, with the spring serving to resiliently bias the arm and tensioner pulley into contact with an accessory drivebelt, and a rotational fluid damper, incorporated within the hub, for damping the rotational motion of the arm with respect to the hub.
