ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic tensioner is provided with a plunger slidably fitted in a cavity in the tensioner housing and biased in a protruding direction by a spring and fluid. An integral inlet check and pressure relief valve is positioned in the cavity and permits fluid to only flow into the cavity and thereby protrude the plunger but not out of the cavity until a high pressure condition is reached whereupon fluid is relieved out of the cavity back to the fluid source. The integral inlet check and pressure relief valve includes a check spring biasing a valve member a against a pressure relief disk that is biased against the valve member by a pressure relief spring.
