CIAO is an automatic, rotational chain/belt tensioner made entirely of plastic material, which means it is suited to operate in corrosive and humid environments. CIAO uses the elastic deformation of four natural rubber cylinders inside of the spaces created by the coupling of two square section elements which are rotated 45° from one another. The highest angle the lever can reach is ±30° from its resting position.
CIAO can be equipped with various kits such as polyethylene sliding blocks, polyethylene wheelsets, stainless steel or plastic sprockets, stainless steel or plastic rollers.
All of these kits are delivered with stainless steel nuts and bolts.
Between all of these options we’d like to highlight the stainless steel (XRU) and plastic (XRP) rollers with protective shield.
The base element CIAO is also available in its reinforced-lever version (PX-R) using a stainless steel bolt.
