A marine riser tensioner located on the drilling platform provides a near constant tension force adequate to maintain the stability of the riser in the offshore environment.

Sports model engines are identifiable via the lack of a cam chain tensioner bolt and the revised valve covers which feature black painted stripes and satin alloy flat areas.
33.
After about 100, 000 miles of operation, the chain may stretch to the point that the hydraulic-operated chain tensioner cannot take up any more slack.
34.
Aside from the belt itself, also common is a failure of the tensioner, and / or the various gear and idler bearings, causing the belt to derail.
35.
In 1982 the engine had the balancing cam sprocket driven rather than chain making the engine quieter and a six-speed gearbox was introduced with an automatic cam chain tensioner.
36.
Timing chains don't typically break, but frequently the gear they ride on or the tensioner that holds them in place will wear, allowing the chain to jump a tooth.
37.
Externally, the accessory drive belt was changed to a serpentine system; coupled with an automatic belt tensioner this increased belt life, reduced maintenance and contributed to lower noise and vibration levels.
38.
The changes extended to the engine where Honda's late 1970s issues with cam chains were dealt with via the introduction of an automatic tensioner replacing the manual version on the earlier models.
39.
Another cause for timing belt failure is improperly adjusting the timing belt on engines with a manual tensioner ( 1989 to very early 1990 models only ) or improperly adjusting the balance shaft belt.
40.
A rope pull was walked across, connected to a pull cable, then winched back across and connected to the strand, which was fed through a tensioner holding back about to smooth the pull.
