Abstract
A tensioner for tensioning a belt that includes a support housing, an arm pivotably attached to the support housing, a spring operatively connected to the support housing and the arm, and a deflectable armplate seated on the arm and deflected into engagement with the support housing to provide an axial force that clamps the arm and the support housing together without axially compressing the spring. The spring biases the arm to pivot relative to the support housing.
