This glossary was written to provide a consistent and uniform definition of terms used in describing an automatic belt tensioner as it applies to an automotive accessory drive system.
Rationale:
Accessory drive automatic belt tensioners are no longer limited to mechanical rotary designs. This specification modifies terminology associated with accessory drive automatic belt tensioners so it applies to other configurations such as linear designs. Additionally, terminology associated with accessory drive functional requirements has been removed, since it is not in the scope of this specification.
