Chain tensioner for Ducati Pantah & Königswelle-precision from CNC milling
Whether Ducati Pantah 600, 650, 750 or exotic royal wave models such as 350/400/500/750/860: A precisely set chain tensioner is Crucial for safe power transmission, minimal game and even Wear and tear. Our CNC mills chain tensioner unite Exact manufacturing tolerances with the highest quality materials - for you as Screwdriver, restorer or racer a clear upgrade factor. In this You will learn everything about detailed description: From the history of the Pantah and Royal wave engines to functional principles up to installation, Maintenance tips and performance optimization.
1 | Why CNC chain tensioner?
✓ Perfect fit
CNC milling guarantees tolerances of ≤ 0.02 mm-no wobbling, no re-enacting.
✓ Repeatability
Industrial series production ensures that every tensioner is exactly like the pattern.
✓ Robust geometry
Complex shapes, increased recording areas and smooth flanks increase shelf life.
✓ Modern design
Lightweight with filigree recesses - optimal strength with minimal weight.
2 | History of the Pantah & Königswelle models
The Ducati Pantah series (600sl, 650sl, 750sl) brought the toothed belt drive in 1980 In the 90 ° V2 world. Before that, Ducati worked with the royal wave - one Central wave for camshaft control in models such as 350/400/500/600/750/860. Both systems require different chain tensioning mechanics and Tension areas. During panta engines with a toothed belt box and low-maintenance belt tensioners were modernized, older royal wave models set On robust chain tensioners with a large adjustment span.
✓ Royal wave
1975–1979: 350–860 cm³, royal shaft drive, chain tensioner at the head end.
✓ Pantah
1980–1986: SL series, timing belt for camshafts, chain tensioner for secondary drive.
✓ successor
1987+: 851/900/1000/... with changed housing lead and chain tensioners.
3 | Building & functional principle
A chain tensioner holds constant traction on the control chain or drive chain. The CNC mills of tensioners consist of a solid base body and one movable leadership element, which is via a compression spring or hydraulic The conifer compensates for the chain tension. Exact drilling pictures and Bronze sliding sockets reduce friction, while sewing tension cheeks prevent the chain from skipping.
- ✓ Base body From 6061-t6-aluminum, hard anoxed.
- ✓ Tensioner Missed in the play, no weld seams.
- ✓ Feather package Made of stainless steel, defined pretense.
- ✓ Bushes & slide pieces made of brass or delrin® for low -wear barrels.
4 | Materials & surfaces
High -strength aluminum alloys (6061, 7075) offer the best Strength/weight relation. Hartanodization (type II/III) protects from corrosion and abrasion. Bronze, brass or POM slide bushes ensure for low friction coefficients, while standardized feather steels Guarantee voltage constancy.
✓ Alu 6061-t6
Train strength 310 MPa, anodized layer 15–25 µm.
✓ Alu 7075-T651
Train strength 550 MPa, if desired.
✓ Bronze base
Lubrication pairing 0.05–0.10 µm roughness, low -maintenance.
✓ Seat steel 302
Permanent strength 490 MPa, rust -free.
5 | Variants & compatibility
We offer especially milled chain tensioners for:
✓ Ducati 350 royal wave
Tension range 3–10 mm, fastening M6.
✓ Ducati 500/600 royal wave
Tension range 5–12 mm, M8 recording.
✓ Pantah 600sl/650sl
Chain tensioner for secondary drive, clamping area 8–15 mm.
✓ Pantah 750sl/900sl
Larger spring force, clamping area 10–18 mm.
6 | Installation & maintenance
The exchange takes place in just a few steps: Remove the chain wheel lids, remove old tensioners, new seal Place on and put on a new tensioner with defined torque. Spring and chain tension should be checked before the first trip become. After that, a visual inspection is sufficient every 5,000 km.
- Remove the cover and loosen old tensioners.
- Note the installation direction - arrow on clamping body.
- Renew the seal, tighten tensioner with 20 nm.
- Check the chain voltage (1 cm side game in the middle).
- Visual control Feder & sockets after 200 km.
7 | Performance advantages & tuning
✓ Constant chain run increases efficiency by up to 3%.
✓ Lower game minimizes vibration resonances.
✓ Heat -resistant anodized layer protects against expansion adjustments.
✓ Filigree construction saves up to 150 g weight.
8 | Care & durability
Even after 50,000 km of continuous use, CNC clamps remain free of play. A Drops of light sealing or sewing machine oil on spring and sockets Every 10,000 km ensures friction -free run. Tensioner not with high pressure Clean - gentle water jet is enough.
9 | Selection criteria & tips
- ✓ Select clamping area to match the model and chain wear.
- ✓ Pay attention to correct seal types (paper vs. o-ring).
- ✓ Choose +20% more for racing or off-road operations.
- ✓ Optionally with color -unified accents - red, black, gold.
10 | Frequent questions
How often does the chain tensioner have to be re -enacted?
Thanks to the automatic feather, it is hardly possible - visual check is enough every 5,000 km.
Can I use the CNC clamping on older royal wave variants?
Yes, as long as drilling image and clamping area match - check model number.
What to do with an unusual rattling?
Check the spring and sockets, reinforce spring force +10% or replace the spring.
Is anodized wear -resistant?
Type III hardanodization holds> 100,000 km without visible wear.
