294-0110: 8 Rib Alternator Serpentine Belt

Description: The Alternator Serpentine Belt, also known as the alternator drive belt, is a specific section of the serpentine belt that is responsible for driving the alternator in a vehicle's engine. The alternator plays a vital role in generating electrical power for the vehicle's electrical system and charging the battery while the engine is running. The alternator serpentine belt is routed around various pulleys, including the crankshaft pulley, tensioner pulley, and alternator pulley. As the engine runs, the crankshaft pulley rotates, which, in turn, rotates the alternator pulley via the serpentine belt. This rotational motion of the alternator generates electricity and charges the vehicle's battery. Attributes: • Made of rubber-based compounds that provide flexibility, strength, and resistance to heat and wear. • The 8 ribs on the inner surface correspond to the grooves on the pulleys it drives ensuring proper grip and preventing slippage. • Belt is kept properly tensioned by a belt tensioner. Applications: The Alternator Serpentine Belt is used to drive the Alternator to generate electricity and is mainly used in Cat 3508, 3508B, C175-16, and C175-20 Engine (Piston), 789D, 793D, 793F, 794, 795F, 796, 797, 797B, and 797F Truck (Incl Truck Tractors), D11N, D11R, and D11T Track Type Tractor.
