No, there isn't any modeled yet.

The final one will probably be either a set of Delrin floating chain tensioners, or an eccentric Delrin disc. But I didn't feel like modeling actual roller chain, so I used a simple loop with the weight set to what equivalent roller chain would weigh.

Either way it's a simple lightweight part with simple operation, and that's all I'm concerned about.
