Abstract
The present invention relates to a tensioner, in particular a tensioner for a driving chain of an internal combustion engine, comprising a tensioning plunger which is axially movably guided in a plunger bore of a plunger reception means and an adjuster for readjusting the shift of the operating range of the tensioning plunger caused by wear. The adjuster comprises a hydraulic adjusting element and a closable pressure chamber provided on the bottom of the plunger bore. The adjusting element delimits the pressure chamber against the plunger bore and is axially movably guided in said plunger bore.
