Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
German term or phrase: Spannumlenkung
Context:

"Kann die Kette höher gezogen werden, dann muss die Kette an der Spannumlenkung nachgespannt werden."

This is to do with tightening a chain for a conveyor belt to the correct tension. A similar term, Antriebsumlenkung, would SEEM, to me, to be "drive deflector", although I'm not too confident about that, either.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Instruction manual
* Target audience: Engineers
* Country and dialect (source): German
