XKBH-00545: TENSIONER ASSY-BELT

Function and Purpose - The tensioner assembly maintains correct tension on the drive belt, keeping it tight against the pulleys. It serves several important functions: - Compensates for belt slack as other components wear over time - Keeps the belt aligned with adjacent parts - Dampens noise and vibration for efficient and quiet drive belt system performance Construction and Design - Built to meet OE (Original Equipment) requirements for fit, form, and function - Features a patented "proportional damping" system for absorbing engine vibrations - Utilizes a "round" wire torsion spring technology for improved vibration dampening and corrosion protection - Incorporates a highly developed mechanical assembly stake for durability Key Features - Maintains correct alignment to the belt and proper accessory belt tension - Eliminates the need for manual belt adjustment or re-tensioning - Prevents belt slip, reducing noise and excessive belt wear - Optimizes belt life by maintaining proper tension as the belt wears - OE-style pulley manufactured to OE material specifications - OE-style locating pins are part of the base casting, ensuring mounting accuracy and alignment - Pivot shaft is an integral part of the tensioner base, maintaining precise angularity Benefits - Provides smooth, noiseless, and vibration-free operation - Ensures predetermined, constant tension throughout its lifespan - Improves overall belt system alignment and optimizes belt uptime - Allows for worry-free installation with OE-style lift lug features While specific dimensions for the XKBH-00545 model are not provided in the search results, tensioner assemblies typically have compact designs to fit within engine compartments. For reference, a similar Toyota forklift tensioner assembly has the following dimensions: 8.75 inches in overall length, 8.9 inches in overall width, and 6.2 inches in height with an extended handle.
