Which component damps the movement of an automatic tensioner?

  • A.A rubber bush within the pivot, which absorbs the movement and therefore prevents the arm from oscillating in use
  • B.An internal friction or hydraulic damper
  • C.The spring alone, whose stiffness determines both the tension applied and the rate at which the arm may move
  • D.The belt

Answer: B

Friction or a hydraulic element inside the tensioner prevents the arm resonating with the engine's torsional pulses. A rubber pivot bush genuinely contributes damping in some designs, which makes the last option a real construction feature. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist.
