The tensioner belt pulley works by applying tension to the serpentine belt, compensating for any slack that may develop during operation. When the engine runs, various components attached to the serpentine belt may create fluctuating loads, leading to changes in belt tension. The tensioner’s spring mechanism automatically adjusts tension based on these variations, ensuring continuous contact between the belt and the driven components.
