timing ribbed belt

The multiribbed belt, often referred to as a serpentine belt or poly-V belt, is an essential component in many automotive and industrial applications. This type of belt is designed with multiple parallel ribs that run along its length, allowing it to effectively transfer power from the engine's crankshaft to various accessories, such as the alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump. As technology in vehicle design advances, the multiribbed belt has become a crucial element for efficient engine operation.

A universal V-belt is a type of belt that is widely adaptable and can fit into many different applications. Typically made from materials such as rubber, polyester, or a combination of elastomers, these belts are designed with a trapezoidal cross-section that allows them to navigate pulleys effectively. The unique shape of the V-belt ensures that it maintains a solid grip on the pulley surfaces, reducing slippage and enhancing power transmission efficiency.
