TENSR AY-V BELT

Reliable Belt Tension Solution for Your Vehicle

Every vehicle's engine requires certain components that work together seamlessly to ensure smooth operation and optimal performance. One such crucial component is the tensioner for the serpentine belt, which plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the engine's accessory systems.

Importance of the Tensioner ?

This component is tasked with maintaining the correct tension of the serpentine belt, allowing it to efficiently drive multiple peripherals like the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. A properly functioning tensioner ensures that these systems receive the power they need without slipping or causing premature wear.

How It Works ⚙️

The tensioner is equipped with a spring-loaded arm connected to a pulley. As the belt moves, the tensioner automatically adjusts to maintain the right amount of tension, ensuring the belt remains tight enough to prevent slippage yet flexible enough to absorb vibrations and extend the belt's lifespan.

Consequences of a Faulty Tensioner ?

If this component fails, the serpentine belt may become loose, leading to a range of issues such as squealing noises, loss of power to accessories, and reduced fuel efficiency. In severe cases, a broken tensioner can cause the belt to detach entirely, potentially leaving you stranded and requiring costly repairs.
