Tape TensionersTape Tensioners for Circular Knitting Machines.What This Part Does
The positive feeders are driven by a toothed belt that runs around the machine. If that belt is slack it slips, and every feeder then delivers slightly less yarn than it was set to. A tape tensioner takes up the slack and holds the belt in constant contact with the feeder wheels.
Because feeder delivery is what sets loop length, belt tension is not a minor adjustment. It is one of the settings that decides fabric weight.

Tape Tensioners Questions
How tight should the belt be?
Tight enough that it does not slip on the feeder wheels, and no tighter. Over tensioning wears the wheels and the belt. Set it, then confirm loop length on the fabric.
What is the difference between single and double layer?
A double layer arrangement drives two belt levels, usually to feed different feeder groups at different rates. The tensioner has to match that arrangement.
