A tensioner comprising a base, a pivot arm rotationally connected to the base, a pulley journalled to the pivot arm, a torsion spring engaged between the base and the pivot arm for biasing the pivot arm, a first damping member and a second damping member, each engaged with the base such that each cannot rotate with respect to the base but can move axially, a friction member connected to and rotationally moveable with the pivot arm, the friction member disposed between the first damping member and the second damping member, and the torsion spring exerting a normal force directly upon the first damping member, thereby pressing the first damping member and the second damping member into frictional engagement with the friction plate.
