Belt drive

Driving auxiliary units The belt drive is the engine of the auxiliary units in trucks and agricultural machinery. A febi multi-v-belt or v-belt ensures that the alternator, water pump and AC pump keep running. Because a broken belt leads directly to downtime, the quality of the material is important. The belts from febi are made to perform continuously, both at high mileages in road transport and in the dusty environment of agriculture. Correct tension and guidance A belt only works well if the tension is correct. That is why Protempo also supplies the corresponding tensioner and deflection pulleys and complete belt tensioners. These parts keep the belt tight and in place, which prevents slipping. A worn tensioner pulley can significantly shorten the life of a new belt. It is therefore wise to check these parts during a belt change and replace them if necessary. Complete sets for efficient maintenance For timing systems, replacing only the timing belt is not enough. A febi timing belt kit contains not only the belt but also the necessary tensioner and guide rollers. All parts in the kit are OE-compliant, which means they fit and work together exactly like the original. This prevents the engine from having to be opened again shortly after the repair for a worn roller. Protection of the system Modern engines use an alternator freewheel pulley to absorb vibrations from the crankshaft. This special type of pulley decouples the alternator from the belt during sudden drops in speed. This puts less stress on the belt and the tensioner, and all parts of the drive last longer. These specific dampers and tensioners are also quickly available through Protempo.
