Abstract
A hydraulic tensioning device is provided for a traction mechanism drive, in particular for a chain or belt drive of an internal combustion engine. The device includes a tensioning piston which is guided in a displaceable manner in a cylinder, with a pressure chamber being defined between the tensioning piston and the cylinder which is used to receive hydraulic fluid. A pressure relief valve is provided which limits the pressure in the pressure chamber. The pressure relief valve () includes, at least partially, a pre-assembled assembly () which can be inserted or is inserted into the tensioning piston ().
