When it comes to vehicle maintenance, fan belts play an integral role in ensuring that everything runs smoothly. From powering the alternator to driving the water pump and air conditioning system, these belts are true workhorses. However, their performance largely depends on their ability to withstand various environmental conditions. Let’s dive into the operating temperature range of fan belts, and why this matters for mechanical drives and belting enthusiasts.

Ribbed belts are primarily responsible for transmitting power from the engine crankshaft to various accessories such as the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Unlike traditional V-belts, ribbed belts feature multiple grooves along their inner surface, allowing them to grip the pulleys more effectively. This design not only improves efficiency but also allows a single ribbed belt to replace multiple belts in a vehicle, simplifying the engine design and reducing weight.
