tension/tensioning/tensioner spoon
Without any context, a more or less literal translation like this would probably be your best option.
Example: "After double-checking the belt's alignment with the Drive Sprocket on the Power Unit and Front Idler Wheel on the opposite end of the rail assembly, fully tension the belt by tightening the outer nut on the belt tension spoon until approximately 1 inch of threads is showing on the rod, making sure the belt does not twist." -- https://www.nortekcontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/112319EX1.p...
Not sure about this either, but an alternative translation might be: tension/tensioning/tensioner paddle. See http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/44123... for instance. Such a paddle seems to have a similar function as the abovementioned spoon.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Jack! Yes, "tension/tensioning/tensioner spoon/paddle" sounds reasonable. I had "tensioning spoon" so far. |
