NR-F Front Mounting Tensioner Device
Types NR-F front mounting tensioner devices provide chain and belt tensioning on frames where rear access is impossible. Designed specifically for blind-hole frames, the device secures entirely from the front using a quality 12.9 hex socket screw. The construction combines a powder metallurgy housing, a steel inner core, and Rubmix 10 rubber quality rated for working temperatures from -30 C to +90 C. Steel parts are finished in Nowarun green paint, produced by NOWARUN in Hangzhou, China to customer specifications.

Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | Honest trade off |
|---|---|
| Standard rear-mount tensioner devices | Types NR-F installs entirely from the front into blind holes, eliminating the need for rear access |
| Standard 8.8 grade hardware tensioners | Supplied quality 12.9 screws deliver higher tensile capacity to maintain clamping under dynamic shock |
| Standard commercial rubber inserts | Rubmix 10 rubber provides a defined working temperature range spanning from -30 C to +90 C |
Use Guide
- Verify that the machinery frame features the appropriate blind-hole thread geometry
- Position the NR-F unit against the front face of the machine mounting surface
- Thread the quality 12.9 hex socket screw directly from the front into the frame
- Torque the screw to the recommended engineering value for 12.9 grade fasteners
- Ensure ambient operational temperatures remain between -30 C and +90 C during service
