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 ContiTech multi V-belts guarantees perfect performance.
Design and function
An elastic multi V-belt consists essentially of:
A + C) Synthetic rubber, sometimes fiber-reinforced B) Elastic polyester tension member
Unlike normal multi V-belts, the Elast belt has an elastic tension member. The belt is fitted under load and maintains its tension automatically. The belt drive does not have a tensioning pulley.
Notes
Replacement interval:
Elastic multi V-belts are subject to aging and wear. They therefore have to be regularly checked and replaced. The checking and replacement intervals are always specified by the vehicle manufacturer and must be complied with.
ContiTech recommends changing the belt every 120,000 km if in doubt.
Storage:
Store in a dry, dust-free and cool place (ideally 15-25°C)
Avoid direct sunlight
Avoid contact with all liquids (oil, water etc.)
Maximum storage period: 5 years from date of production
Tips:
Elastic multi V-belts must never be replaced by normal multi V-belts
ContiTech also offers practical sets with an Multi V-Belt Elast + Tool for many drives
Elastic multi V-belts can be re-used if they were not damaged during removal
May only be used in vehicles factory-fitted with elastic belts
Can only be fitted using ContiTech special tool
Check alignment of belt pulleys using Conti Laser Tool
Determine belt wear using Conti Belt Wear Tester (BWT)
