Cummins 3289224 Ribbed V-Belt

Product Description:

• A ribbed V-belt, also known as a serpentine belt, is a type of V-belt with multiple longitudinal ribs running along its length.
• These belts are designed to transmit power more efficiently than traditional V-belts by having a larger contact surface area with the pulleys
•  The ribs allow for more flexibility and smoother operation, which makes them suitable for higher speed applications and multiple pulley systems.
• Ribbed V-belts are primarily use to transmit power from the engine’s crankshaft to various accessories and components, such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump in automotive applications.
• Ribbed V-belts are known for their high transmission efficiency, which means they lose less energy due to friction and slippage compared to some other types of belts.
• Ribbed V-belts are commonly found in modern vehicles, especially in serpentine belt drive systems, where a single belt is used to power multiple engine accessories.
