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
- Overheating of the engine
- Unusual noise coming from the engine area
- Belt slipping off or breaking
- Engine stalling
How do I know if my belt tensioner pulley is bad?
Signs of Damage
- Squeaking or chirping noise
- Visible wear on the pulley
- Belt misalignment
- Excessive belt movement
- Check engine light comes on
