tensioner
Chain slack eliminator
A tensioner is a device that applies or maintains tension on a belt, chain, cable, or other flexible component.
In engines, a belt tensioner keeps the serpentine belt taut against pulleys.
Tensioners appear in bicycles, industrial machinery, and anywhere consistent tension prevents slippage or failure: The mechanic replaced the worn tensioner to stop the belt from squealing.
