One of the primary benefits of ribbed belts is their superior performance. The increased surface area provided by the ribs allows for greater flexibility and stronger grip, which translates to better power transmission. Ribbed belts are also typically made from durable materials such as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, which has excellent resistance to heat, oil, and ozone. This resilience ensures a longer lifespan compared to traditional belts, where wear and tear could occur more rapidly.

The 6PK in the name refers to the specific type of serpentine belt that features six ribs. This designation is important because it indicates both the belt's width and the number of grooves designed for maximum grip and efficiency. The 202140 typically represents the length of the belt in millimeters. Serpentine belts, including the 6PK 202140, are used in vehicles to drive multiple peripheral devices from a single crankshaft pulley. These devices often include the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and sometimes the fan.
