v belt with teeth

An endless flat drive belt is a continuous loop made from flexible materials, designed to transmit power between pulleys located at varying distances. Unlike traditional belts that often feature a textured surface or teeth for grip, flat belts rely on friction between the belt surface and the pulleys to facilitate movement. The endless feature indicates that the belt has no joints or seams, reducing the risk of wear and breakdown while ensuring a smooth operation.

A fan belt, also known as a serpentine belt or accessory belt, is a rubber belt that connects the crankshaft of the engine to various accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. This belt facilitates the operation of these components, making it crucial for the overall performance of a vehicle. The “6 PK” designation refers to the number of ribs on the belt, which enhances grip and improves power transmission.

A universal V-belt is a type of belt that is widely adaptable and can fit into many different applications. Typically made from materials such as rubber, polyester, or a combination of elastomers, these belts are designed with a trapezoidal cross-section that allows them to navigate pulleys effectively. The unique shape of the V-belt ensures that it maintains a solid grip on the pulley surfaces, reducing slippage and enhancing power transmission efficiency.
