TIMING CHAIN, CHAIN TENSIONER [SKYACTIV-D 1.5]

id0110q2001500


Purpose, Function


Timing chain

• The timing chain transmits the rotation force of the crankshaft to the camshaft to perform the rotation timing of the crankshaft and camshaft.


Chain tensioner

• The chain tensioner constantly maintains the timing chain tension and the timing chain operation is stabilized.


Construction


Timing chain

• The timing chain is located between the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket.
• The lubrication of the timing chain and each sprocket is performed by the engine oil supplied from the cylinder block.

Chain tensioner

• The chain tensioner is located on the cylinder block (engine front part).
• An oil pressure type chain tensioner has been adopted for the chain tensioner.


OPERATION


Chain tensioner

• Tension fluctuation on the timing chain is suppressed by hydraulic pressure and tension is held constant by spring force.
