A turnbuckle supports risers used for drilling and delivering oil to floating rigs. Tensioning systems support the weight of the riser and allow for movement separate from the rig movements. Elastomeric tensioners are an alternative to hydraulic systems. Emergency disconnect devices allow for quick separation in case of violent rig movement or storms. A turnbuckle […]

A belt tensioner pulley maintains proper tension on a drive belt, saving wear on bearings and preventing slippage. It is commonly found on modern vehicles and can be adjusted to keep the belt tight as it stretches and ages. A damaged bearing requires the entire assembly to be replaced, and a squeaky belt may be […]
A tensioner pulley is used to adjust the belt in a belt and pulley system. There are manual and automatic types, with manual ones being levered into place or adjusted with a bolt, while automatic ones are spring loaded. Pulleys drive the system, power a device, or spin freely. Accessory pulleys can be adjusted by […]
A turnbuckle is a metal device used to adjust tension without twisting ropes or cables. It consists of a rectangular body with screw holes and two threaded inserts. Turnbuckles are used in various applications, including construction, watercraft, and aircraft. They should be selected based on the strength of the wire or rope they are attached […]
