automotive drive belts

The PK belt, also known as a serpentine belt or ribbed belt, is a key element of the engine's accessory drive system. It is named for its PK section profile, which features a series of ribs that permit better grip on pulleys.

The effective operation of these systems is crucial for the vehicle’s performance, safety, and comfort.
