Abstract

An idler pulley (1) of a traction mechanism drive, on which a traction mechanism (24), such as a belt or chain, is guided, and which idler pulley is adjustable via an adjusting eccentric (5) and can be fastened to a machine part (2) in conjunction with a fastening means (8). The adjusting eccentric (5) and the fastening means (8) together form a fixing device (17) with which at least one end position of the adjusting eccentric (5) and consequently of the idler pulley (1) can be defined. For this purpose, the fixing device (17) comprises at least one lug (15) which is oriented radially or axially and interacts with at least one stop (16) of the associated further component.
