Ratchet Style Belt Tensioner with Tracking Wheel

Upgrade your belt grinder with this rock-solid ratchet style tensioner—built to outlast and outperform hydraulic and spring systems.

Why a Ratchet System is More Durable:

Spring and hydraulic style tensioners might get the job done, but they wear out over time. Springs lose tension, and hydraulic components can fail under heavy use, which means you’re stuck replacing parts or dealing with a system that doesn’t hold up over the long haul.

With the ratchet and pawl mechanism, you get consistent, precise tension without worrying about degradation. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear, so it stays reliable, no matter how hard you push your grinder. Plus, the ratchet system gives you total control over your belt tension, ensuring your belts stay tight and aligned, giving you better, more consistent results.

What’s Included:

• Ratchet and Pawl made from 3/8-inch thick 304 stainless steel for ultimate durability.
• Handle piece machined from 1/2-inch thick 6061 aluminum, offering superior strength.
• Multiple thrust bearings for smooth, easy ratcheting action.
• 3-inch crowned tracking wheel for optimal belt alignment.
• Machined aluminum wheel spacers to help fine-tune your belt alignment if needed.
