Abstract
A belt tensioner () for a generator belt drive of an internal combustion engine is provided. The belt tensioner includes a tensioning arm () with a tensioning roller () mounted thereon, and a tensioning spring which acts on the tensioning arm and is intended for pretensioning the belt () is designed for mounting onto the generator () and, in the mounted state of the belt drive, engages annularly around the belt pulley () of the generator and encompasses the belt in a plane which is spaced apart from the plane of the belt and runs on the far side of the belt plane with respect to the generator. The belt tensioner has an open ring-shaped construction, and therefore, in the mounted state of the belt tensioner on the generator, the belt can be mounted axially through the ring opening () in the belt tensioner onto the belt pulley of the generator.
