Abstract
A belt tensioner for a belt system having a compression spring internal to the tensioning arm, the tensioning arm pivotable in relation to the pivot shaft and the tensioner base. The compression spring provides an axial force against an axially slidable hub bearing, which moves to accommodate variations in spring force and/or dimensional changes.
