Abstract

A tensioner for a traction means, particularly a belt (7), comprises a protective plate (1) which is displaceable relative to a stationary machine element, the tensioner further comprises a tension roller (2) mounted rotatably on a bearing pin (3) for contacting the belt (7) and to obtain a perfect tensioning of the belt, the bearing pin (3) comprises an eccentric (5) which is received on the protective plate (1), the longitudinal axes of the eccentric (5) and the bearing pin (3) being spaced from one another by an eccentricity e, and a pivoting of the bearing pin (3) about the eccentric (5) being limited by a stop (8, 9).
