ABSTRACT:
A traction mechanism, in particular for driving the camshafts of an internal combustion engine, is provided. The mechanism includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a traction element and first and second tensioner slide rails. One slide rail can be subjected to a clamping force by a first clamping device that is supported both on the slide rail and externally. The first slide rail is connected to the second slide rail in a manner that transmits a defined force or displacement.
