Description

Overview

Tensioner Clutch Thermo King SLX suits the clutch-side belt drive used on Thermo King SLX refrigeration units. It keeps belt load controlled through the drive system, so the clutch and related belt path stay aligned during operation. It also fits the broader SLX family where the same clutch tensioner arrangement is installed.

Features

• Suits SLX-series clutch tensioner drive layouts
• Commonly used across SLX 100, 200, 300, 400 and Spectrum applications
• Supports correct belt tracking and stable drive tension
• Useful when worn tensioner components cause belt noise, misalignment or inconsistent tension

Specifications and Materials

Tensioner Clutch Thermo King SLX is a clutch tensioner assembly for SLX belt-drive service work. Match the installed tensioner layout and mounting arrangement before ordering, because retrofit and later assembly combinations also exist in this family. Part number: TK-78-1791-AM.

This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. 78-1791, 781791, 78-1617, 781617, 781-617, 78-1884, 781884, 78-1887, 781887, 10-78-1887, 10781887

Compliance and Safety

Isolate the unit before service, then inspect the belt, pulley alignment and mounting hardware at the same time. If the old tensioner shows side wear, noise or free play, replace related worn drive components as needed because a new tensioner will not correct a damaged belt path on its own.

Trailer Applications

Tensioner Clutch Thermo King SLX is used in trailer refrigeration drive systems across the SLX range where the clutch-side tensioner arrangement matches the removed part. It is commonly linked to SLX 100, SLX 200, SLX 300, SLX 400 and Spectrum service work, and later retrofit assemblies also appear in the same application family.
