variable belt drive

The size and specifications of a V-belt, including length, width, and thickness, affect its cost. Standard sizes are typically cheaper due to mass production, whereas custom sizes may require additional manufacturing processes, leading to higher prices. Moreover, specific applications may require unique specifications, impacting both availability and cost. It’s essential to accurately determine the dimensions needed for your specific application to avoid overspending on unnecessary modifications.

As the engine cranks, the rotational energy is transmitted through the PK belt to the alternator pulley. This rotation causes the rotor inside the alternator to spin, inducing a magnetic field. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, this spinning magnetic field generates electrical current in the stator windings of the alternator. The result is an output of alternating current (AC), which is then converted into direct current (DC) through a built-in rectifier. This DC power is what charges the vehicle’s battery and powers the electrical systems.
