Design and function
A multi V-belt consists essentially of:
A + C) Synthetic rubber, sometimes fiber-reinforced
B) Polyester tension member
Thanks to its flat design with multiple adjacent ribs, the multi V-belt offers a large frictional surface area for power transmission within a very small space. Its reverse-bending strength and flexibility enable several units to be driven simultaneously.
Notes
Replacement interval:
Multi V-belts are subject to aging and wear. They therefore have to be regularly checked and replaced. The checking and replacement intervals are always specified by the vehicle manufacturer and must be complied with.
Continental recommends changing the belt every 120,000 km if in doubt.
Storage:
- Store in a dry, dust-free and cool place (ideally 15-25°C)
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Avoid contact with all liquids (oil, water etc.)
- Maximum storage period: 5 years from date of production
Tips:
- Use ContiDrive App to measure tension
- Determine belt wear using Conti Belt Wear Tester (BWT)
