Abstract
A tensioning device for a traction drive comprises: a base member; at least one tensioning arm pivotably supported on the base member around a pivot axis, with a tensioning roller which is rotatably supported on a bearing carrier of the tensioning arm; spring means for resiliently loading the tensioning arm, wherein the spring means extend between a first spring support of the tensioning arm and a second spring support of the tensioning device over a circumferential length around the pivot axis; an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the first spring support relative to the bearing carrier of the tensioning roller in circumferential direction about the pivot axis. A method includes adjusting the torque of the tensioning device.
