Re: Chain Tensioning
If you have a significant length of chain, and need to take some play out of it, a simple method of easily taking out slack is to wedge a loose plate sprocket between the chains as such. I suppose this could work for belts too.
The green sprocket is not fixed or touching anything but the chain, and remains in place with no need for support. Since it is not transferring any load either, it can be made of extremely pocketed aluminum and can be super light weight.
