More Information
Summary:One embodiment may include an automotive timing chain system component (10, 12) such as a tensioner arm (10) or a chain guide (12) that, during use, bears directly or indirectly against a chain (22) of an automotive timing chain system (14). The component (10, 12) may have an elongated body (16, 116) made into a generally hollow shape by a hydroforming process. The body may have a first open free end (26, 126) and a second open free end (28, 128). Un mode de réalisation peut comprendre un composant de système de chaîne de distribution automobile (10, 12) tel qu'un bras tendeur (10) ou un guide-chaîne (12), qui, en utilisation, porte directement ou indirectement contre une chaîne (22) d'un système de chaîne de distribution automobile (14). Le composant (10, 12) peut avoir un corps allongé (16, 116) réalisé en une forme généralement creuse par un traitement d'hydroformage. Le corps peut avoir une première extrémité libre ouverte (26, 126) et une seconde extrémité libre ouverte (28, 128).
