EPDM, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a synthetic rubber widely used in manufacturing various automotive and industrial components. EPDM PK belts, characterized by their 'PK' profile, are designed primarily for transmission of power in a range of applications, particularly in automotive engines and industrial machinery. The 'P' in PK indicates the parallel-sided profile of the belt, while 'K' reflects the specific dimensions that ensure a snug fit and optimal performance.

Variable speed belts are designed to transmit power between devices while allowing for the alteration of speed during operation. This capability is crucial in applications where different tasks require varying speeds, from conveyor belts in factories to automobiles. Unlike traditional belts that operate at a fixed speed, variable speed belts utilize mechanisms such as variable pulleys or electronic controls to adapt quickly to changing requirements.

A ribbed belt, also known as a serpentine belt, is a continuous belt with longitudinal grooves running along its length. These grooves enable the belt to grip the pulleys more effectively, reducing slippage and improving power transfer between the engine and various auxiliary components. In modern vehicles, including the W211, ribbed belts are used to drive multiple accessories such as the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.
