DRIVE BELT JTBELT

Product Name: DRIVE BELT JTBELT Standard

The DRIVE BELT JTBELT is designed with precision, acknowledging the variations in measurement and production methods across V-belt manufacturers. These discrepancies in length specifications do not compromise the functionality of our belts.

Different industry standards dictate the use of various parameters for determining length specifications. It is essential to distinguish between the external length (Le), internal length (Li), and pitch length; the latter being measured at approximately 3/4 height of the belt according to DIN 2215.

When measuring belt length, it is crucial to consider the tension specified by the vehicle manufacturer, as this plays a significant role in the production process. Consequently, diverse V-belt dimensions from different manufacturers can be found on a single vehicle.

For Piaggio scooters, special attention must be given to the oil pump belt following a V-belt failure. Fragments from a broken V-belt can damage or completely destroy the oil pump belt, which is positioned behind the variomatic and not readily visible. It is advisable to inspect the oil pump belt's condition regularly and replace it if necessary. A compromised oil pump belt can lead to severe engine issues such as piston seizure.
