A tensioner for maintaining tension in an endless drive member. The tensioner comprises a base, a tensioner arm, and a tensioner arm biasing member. The base is mountable to a frame of a motor/generator unit (MGU), or an alternator, or a similar device. The tensioner arm has a tensioner pulley thereon, wherein the tensioner arm is mounted for translation along an arc relative to the base. The tensioner arm biasing member is elastically compliant in compression or extension and has a first end that is engaged with the tensioner arm and a second end that is engaged with the base. Furthermore, the tensioner pulley is positioned to engage the endless drive member on one side of the MGU, alternator or similar device. |
