<p>The hydraulic tensioner comprises a housing having a bore, with an inner surface. The housing has an aperture in communication with a source of pressurized fluid. A hollow piston is slidably received within the bore, the piston having an inner surface and an outer surface. A piston spring biasses the piston in a direction toward the power transmission device. A valve housing comprises a hollow structure with an inner chamber. The valve housing has a number of valve housing apertures. A fluid filled pressure chamber is of an annular shape, the pressure chamber having an outer surface defined by the piston inner surface and the bore inner surface. The chamber has an inner surface defined by the valve housing.</p> |
