A tensioner belt pulley is typically constructed from durable materials such as metal or high-grade plastic, designed to withstand the high temperatures and stresses present in an engine environment. The pulley is mounted on a pivot arm, allowing it to move as the belt tension changes. Most modern tensioners are equipped with a spring mechanism that automatically adjusts the tension on the belt, providing a consistent and precise amount of tension regardless of engine speed or load.

Despite their durability, PK belts can wear out, fray, or crack over time due to heat, tension, and environmental factors. A worn belt can lead to slippage, which may cause inadequate power transfer to the alternator and other accessories, leading to electrical failures or battery drain. Consequently, it is vital to inspect the PK belt regularly and replace it when signs of wear become evident, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions.
