Abstract

A tension roller has a rolling bearing supported by a multipart support which is swivable about an eccentrically arranged mounting bolt. A rolling sleeve for a belt is arranged on the outer ring of the bearing. The support includes two side parts which abut the side surfaces of the bearing inner ring, thereby preventing axial movement. A central body is provided with respect to which the side parts are fixedly arranged. The central body is adapted to provide radial support for the bearing inner ring.
