DRIVE BELT JTBELT REINFORCED

The DRIVE BELT JTBELT REINFORCED is designed for optimal performance, accommodating the variances in length specifications among different V-belt manufacturers. While these variations do not compromise the functionality of the belts, it is crucial to adhere to our designated vehicle assignments for accurate compatibility.

Understanding V-belt dimensions requires knowledge of various industry standards that dictate external length (Le), internal length (Li), and pitch length. Pitch length, specifically, is defined at approximately 3/4 height of the belt following DIN 2215 guidelines. Additionally, vehicle manufacturer specifications on belt tension are vital for achieving reliable length measurements during the production process.

Caution should be exercised, particularly with Piaggio scooters, where the oil pump belt merits special attention following a V-belt failure. Fragments from a broken V-belt can damage the oil pump belt, which lies concealed behind the variomatic. A thorough inspection of this belt is necessary to prevent severe engine damage, such as piston seizure, which can result from a compromised oil pump belt.
