DRIVE BELT [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]
Purpose, Function
-
The drive belt transmits rotation force of the crankshaft pulley to the pulleys for the auxiliary parts.
Construction
-
A V-ribbed belt has been adopted for the drive belt.
-
The water pump drive belt is a stretch type.
-
A hydraulic drive belt auto tensioner has been adopted.
-
Drive belt vibration is suppressed and tension fluctuation is reduced by shortening the distance between each pulley. Furthermore, the change in tension by the hydraulic damper operation of the hydraulic drive belt auto tensioner is absorbed, and by suppressing the set load, the slide resistance is reduced.
