Introduction to Belt Tensioner Pulley

Design and Working Principle

  • The belt tensioner pulley is designed to maintain the proper tension on the belt in an engine.
  • It works by using a spring-loaded arm to apply pressure to the belt, keeping it at the correct tension.
  • When the belt tensioner pulley is functioning properly, it helps ensure optimal performance of the engine.

What happens when a belt tensioner fails?

Possible Consequences

  • Loss of power steering
