Abstract
A chain drive is used for driving camshafts, secondary shafts or the like, from a crankshaft, in an internal combustion engine. A tensioner blade and a sliding blade rest against the loose end and against the load end of a chain of the chain drive. For compensating component tolerances, the sliding blade and the tensioner blade are each disposed in an articulated manner at a proximal end via a bolt. An adjusting device is applied to a distal end of each of the sliding blade and the tensioner blade, respectively.
