Vibration Damper, v-ribbed belt - T38407 GATES

The belt tensioner damper is considered a fairly important component in the overall vehicle design. The thing is that it means a multifunctional part, which in turn is one of the constituent components of the drive system of the internal combustion engine attachments. Thus, with its help, the required degree of belt tensioner is ensured, due to which a well-coordinated and uninterrupted operation of the entire vehicle is guaranteed.

The usage of the v-ribbed belt vibration damper

The belt tensioner shock absorber (damper) is a functional element included in the drive system of the internal combustion engine attachments. It provides the correct degree of belt tension.

In most cases, GATES brand Vibration Damper, v-ribbed belt become unusable due to:

1. natural wear and tear of the part;
2. breakdowns of adjacent structures;
3. overheating at idle (the problem arises precisely at such speeds, since when driving at high speed the pressure of the air flow through the radiator is much more powerful, because of which the damper has time to cool);
4. increased engine vibration, etc.

If a malfunction is found, the broken shock absorber should be replaced with a new one
