Title:
FACE OF TENSIONER GUIDE OR ARM WITH PATTERN TO INFLUENCE CHAIN SYSTEM NVH PERFORMANCE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023177328
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method of decreasing noise, vibration, and harshness within a chain system.SOLUTION: A pattern applied to a face of a tensioner arm, guide or snubber in contact with a chain intentionally breaks up the chain contact force between a back of chain links and the tensioner arm, guide or snubber face. This is done to prevent alignment with the chain-related orders which cause NVH within the chain system or to increase overall NVH to obscure chain-related orders.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
