ABSTRACT:
A tensioning device for a reciprocating flexible drive system, such as a wire rope is provided. The tensioning device provides a mechanism which effectively tensions the slack side of the wire rope while directly coupling the driven side of the wire rope to the load. The tensioning device slides within a housing to a first position where force from the driven side is applied directly to the load while the slack side is tensioned with a spring. When the wire rope is reversed, the tensioning device slides to a second position within the housing where force from the driven side is once again directly applied to the load.
