The Manufacturing Process

What is a Serpentine Belt?

One of the primary advantages of ribbed drive belts is their flexibility. Unlike flat belts that may struggle to navigate around tight pulleys, ribbed belts can bend more easily, allowing them to be used in complex routing configurations. This flexibility means that ribbed drive belts can fit into tighter spaces in automotive engines, making them ideal for modern vehicles where space is at a premium.

Additionally, the agricultural sector employs Synchroflex timing belts in machinery such as harvesters and planting equipment, where precision and reliability are crucial for productivity. Their versatility also extends to home appliances, like washing machines, where they contribute to the silent and smooth operation of the motor.
