Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus, in which a belt driving device, provided in an image forming part, has: plural rollers including a driving roller; an endless belt; a driver, with one roller as a tension control roller to control tension applied to the endless belt, that moves the tension control roller in a vertical direction to an axis of another roller; a position detector that detects the position of the tension control roller; a pressure detector that detects pressure added with the endless belt to the tension control roller; and a controller that controls movement of the tension control roller. To set the tension applied to the endless belt as a predetermined value, the controller controls the driver to bring the detected pressure closer to a target pressure to be added to the tension control roller in the detected position of the tension control roller.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the driver, the position detector, and the pressure detector are respectively provided in correspondence with both ends of the tension control roller,\n and wherein the controller individually controls driving of the respective drivers.
