[Edit]
An idler pulley is not only a tensioner it is also a guide pulley on long stretches of belts and chains that helps them from coming off the main pulleys it also helps with vibration
it is a free pulley that works as a tensioner on any belt bolted to hold or spring loaded
An idler pulley usually tensions a belt.. eg supercharger belt is kept taut by its respective idler pulley
