Re: Sprockets as Chain Tensioners?

You could try a cam....see the picture below. Each cam has a 1/4" shoulder bolt that acts as an axle. The bolt is drilled off center. You twist the cam into the desired position then tighten a set screw....this drives the aluminum cam up into the bolt and locks everything down.

As the delrin wears you can adjust the tension or replace the bushing altogether.
