Our philosophy and track record has earned Litens a reputation as the leading global supplier of robust, high quality timing belt tensioners.  Customers recognize that timing drive optimization including tension control is key to achieving objectives for system efficiency, performance, reliability and cost.  Our tensioners are engineered to provide consistent control of system dynamics to reduce span resonance vibrations, minimize timing error and improve system NVH.

Total tension control is a process that starts at the beginning of the design concept.  Effective modelling, analysis methodology and experience are employed to engineer an optimized timing drive layout.  Proper selection and specification of belt tensioner, belt and vibration control strategy will result in top class systems. Finally, an effective test and evaluation program of running hardware to fine tune the drive before production verifies predictive analysis.

We utilize a variety of proven techniques to provide reliable continuous belt tension. Our designs can accommodate almost any conceivable tension requirement, allowance for easy belt installation and compensate for belt stretch/wear, engine thermal characteristics and engine tolerance stackup. Special software can quickly calculate the requirements.

Litens offers the products and methodologies to achieve total tension control for the most demanding applications. It’s the result of years of experience, research investment and listening to our customers.  With production of 13 million timing tensioners annually and an ever-expanding global supply base, Litens is in the leading position to meet strict customer requirements.
