Elastic multi V-belts enable the non-positive power transmission of torque in belt drives without a tensioning pulley. Their task: To drive alternators, fans, water pumps, AC compressors and power steering systems in modern engines. The high quality of the Continental multi V-belts guarantees perfect performance.
Features & Benefits:
Elast belts are made using synthetic rubber materials (sometimes fiber reinforced) that enable them to keep constant tension on a drive system for the entire life of the belt, thus, there is no need for a tensioning mechanism in the system.
Unlike normal multi V-belts, the Elast belt has an elastic polyester tension member. The belt is fitted under load and maintains its tension automatically.
Service Tip: Always replace belts and tensioners together. Old tensioners will reduce a belt's lifespan, and can lead to issues such as overheating, a dead battery, diminished power steering, or poor air conditioning performance.
