Abstract

The invention relates to a tensioning device for tightening strapping bands. When a tensioning motor runs forwards in the tensioning direction, a tensioning wheel is automatically pivoted against an abutment in the opposite direction. Once the tensioning process is complete, said tensioning wheel is pivoted back out of the tensioning position and into the starting position by running the tensioning motor backwards.
