Abstract
An oil tensioner includes a housing, forming a cylindrical bore therewithin, and a hollow cylindrical plunger. The housing and the plunger form an oil chamber therebetween, to which oil is supplied. The plunger is urged by a spring as well as external oil hydraulics. The plunger includes a screw groove, in communication with the oil chamber, formed on a sliding surface thereof abutting an inner surface of the housing. When the plunger is urged rearward, oil in the oil chamber flows gradually through the screw groove, thereby effectively lubricating the sliding surface therebetween.
