Zusammenfassung: | A tensioner (500 in Fig. 2) for an endless drive element (600 in Fig. 2) of an internal combustion engine (110 in Fig. 1) is provided. The tensioner comprises a support body 580 and a tensioning element 510. The support body 580 comprises: a hollow housing 580a; an oil chamber 590; a feeding duct 586 connecting the hollow housing 580a to the oil chamber 590. The tensioning element 510 is at least partially inserted within the hollow housing 580a in a movable manner with respect to the support body 580. An elastic element 520 biases the movable tensioning element 510 for imparting tension to the endless drive element. The oil chamber 590 further comprises a chamber oil inlet 595 to fluidly connect the oil chamber 590 to an oil supply line 700 of the internal combustion engine. The chamber oil inlet 595 is arranged at a level above the feeding duct 586 to retain oil within the hollow housing 580a and the oil chamber 590. |
