A fan belt adjuster, commonly referred to as a tensioner, is a device that maintains the proper tension on the fan belt. It ensures that the belt remains adequately tight to prevent slippage during operation. Proper tension is essential not only for the optimal performance of the accessories powered by the belt but also for the longevity of the belt itself. If the fan belt is too loose, it can slip off the pulleys, leading to a complete failure of accessory operations, while a belt that is too tight can cause excessive wear on both the belt and the components it drives.
