Auto belts are important facilities that ensure that the engine systems of a vehicle run smoothly. Belts move engine energy to the various important components, whether it is to power the alternator or the air conditioning compressor and water pump. Knowledge in various kinds of belts in a vehicle is relevant in maintenance of vehicles, after market suppliers and distributors of products worldwide. Guanpin being a professional manufacturer of B2B automotive belts offers complete assortment of rubber drive, as well as ribbed V belts, to serve both the modern and traditional engine systems.
Serpentine Belts (PK or Ribbed V Belts)
Serpentine belt is the most commonly used belt in the current cars otherwise referred to as PK belt or ribbed V belt. Compared to the earlier systems that utilized several belts, the serpentine belt utilizes one long belt to make several items i.e. the alternator, air conditioning compressor, water pump and power steering pump turn.
The design of PK belts ensures that they contain several longitudinal ribs that enhance the contact area with pulleys and this enables them to transmit higher torque, slipping is minimized and also enable a smooth way of operation. Guanpin produces 6PK, 7PK, 8PK, 9PK, 10PK, 11PK and 12PK ribbed V belts, so that they are appropriate to passenger vehicles, sports utility vehicles, and commercial vehicles. These belts are very flexible, heat resistant and have long life.
V Belts (Traditional Fan Belts)
Most vehicles pre-serpentine used V belts, otherwise known as fan belts. The shape of these belts is trapezoidal and the belt fits in V-shaped grooves. There are two belts that usually operate one component, alternator or cooling fan.
V belts continue to be used in older cars, agricultural life, and a few industrial automotive applications. Guanpin manufactures rubber V belt of high quality that provides high grip, minimal noise and consistent performance even when subjected to intense mechanical load.
Timing Belts
There is a totally different role of a timing belt as compared to accessory drive belts. It coordinates crankshaft rotation with camshaft rotation, with the valves in the engine opening and closing at a specific time. This timing is a critical factor in combusting fuel effectively and engine efficient running.
Timing belts should be produced with the highest precision possible, reinforced rubber and high-tensile fiber should be used to provide resistance to continuous movement, heat and mechanical stress. A malfunction of a timing belt may result in severe damages to the engine, so the quality of materials and the precision of manufacturing is highly important.
Accessory Drive Belts
All the belts that drive engine accessories instead of engine internal parts are considered the accessory drive belts. These are serpentine belt, PK belt and V belt. Such belts offer mechanical energy to essential systems that include:
- Alternators
- Compressors of air conditioning.
- Water pumps
- Power steering pumps
Guanpin automotive rubber belts are designed with a constant level of tension, low-level vibration, and constant power delivery of the belts under all working circumstances.
The Reason Ribbed V Belts are the Top in the Modern Vehicles.
Ribbed V belts have since been used as the international standard that is used on the contemporary engines because of the high efficiency and life span. The ribbed design enables them to flex and at the same time give strong friction to the pulleys maximizing power transfer and minimizing wear.
Ribbed V belts have enhanced heat dissipation, reduced noise, and extended replacement time over conventional belts and are suitable in the modern high-performance engine designs that do not have sufficient space.
The Reasons to use Guanpin Automotive Belts.
Being a professional B2B automotive belt supplier, Guanpin relies on high quality rubber compounds, reinforced cords and precision molding technology to ensure that the belts they produce are of international performance level. All belts are stability designed, durable and can withstand power flow under harsh driving conditions.
Having factory-direct manufacturing, flexible order quantity and complete line of PK and V belt types, Guanpin supplies its global distributors, automotive parts brands, and aftermarket customers with reliable automotive belt solutions.
Conclusion
Knowledge of a car belt: e.g., serpentine belts, PK ribbed V belts, fan belts, timing belts, etc. will help prevent engine failure and durability of a vehicle. The various belts have different functions, yet they are all manufactured with good quality materials and engineering.
Through the complete collection of automotive belts of Guanpin, customers will have an opportunity to obtain high quality and durable products of modern automobiles and international market.
