The present invention relates to a tensioning rail for a traction drive, especially
for an internal combustion engine, said tensioning rail comprising a fastening
end section with a pivotable fastening means and a tensioning arm area having,
at a predetermined distance from said pivotable fastening means, a pressure-application
region for contact with a tensioning piston of a tensioning device, at least one
second pressure-application region being arranged on the tensioning arm area at
a predetermined different distance from said pivotable fastening means.
