A belt damper is a very necessary and extremely useful device. And all because with its help the required level of tension of the element itself is provided. I would also like to note that this product is used to ensure correct synchronization of the power plant crankshaft. In order to prevent the likelihood of various unpleasant situations in the future, it is enough to replace both the belt itself and the damper in time. They must be replaced at the same time.

In addition, a belt damper may have a different type. In this case, we are talking about a self-tensioning device, thanks to which the self-adjustment of the belt is ensured.
