Abstract
A tensioning device for a flexible drive means, such as a chain or a belt, includes a housing, a tensioning piston movably arranged in the housing and provided with a hollow space, a pressure chamber for hydraulic fluid arranged between the housing and the tensioning piston, a vent opening arranged in the tensioning piston, and a damping means in flow communication with the vent opening and with the pressure chamber. A packing element is arranged in the hollow space of the tensioning piston and is at least a component of the damping means, such that the damping means comprises a capacity for hydraulic fluid which corresponds to at least 30% of the volume of the pressure chamber added in a 1 mm stroke of the tensioning piston in the extension direction. The device relates to a series of tensioning devices as well as a transmission and a series of transmissions.
