Abstract
A tensioning device for traction device, particularly chains, comprises an element, particularly a tension shoe ( ) that tensions the traction device. The tension shoe ( ) is mounted on a pivot axle ( ) for pivoting relative to a base element ( ), and a spring element ( ) acting between the tension shoe ( ) and the base element ( ) urges the tension shoe ( ) against the traction device. To simplify the assembly of the tension shoe ( ) and the base element ( ), it is proposed that one of the elements ( ) comprises at least one mounting eye ( ) having a radial mounting aperture ( ) for radially receiving the pivot axle ( ) arranged on the respective other element ( ).
