2012 Ford Transit Connect Serpentine and V Belts

Dayco ela self-tensioning belts incorporate a wear-resistant EPDM rib material, along with a highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord, thus providing the required adhesion and flexibility to maintain lasting performance. The backbone behind the Dayco ela self-tensioning belt is its polyamide tensile member, which allows the high elongation required for installation, yet provides the proper tension maintenance properties to transmit the accessory loads demanded for the drive.

Product Features:

• Designed for two- to four-point drives that do not require automatic or manual tensioning
• Provides self-tensioning capabilities required by specific OE drives designed for a ‘stretch’ belt
• Elasticity allows for long-lasting performance and proper tension

Import or domestic, car or truck, every vehicle can depend on the superior quality of Gates precision fit Micro-V belts. With advanced technology that matches the OE size, construction and materials, Gates Micro-V ensures optimal vehicle performance.

Product Features:

• The special belt construction eliminates belt noise, reduces tension loss, and solves problems in drive applications.
• EPDM rubber constructions resist cracking on the rib surface

Stretch Fit Drive Systems Demand Highly Engineered Solutions.

Product Features:

• The specially formulated adhesive literally locks onto the cord, allowing the cord to lengthen and stretch, without ever losing its tension.
• Gates tensile ropes are designed to combine strength and flexibility through the use of advanced polyamide.
• Patented highly engineered EPDM belt ribs are extremely resistant to contamination, wear and pilling
• NOTE: Stretch Fit straps are single-use and must be replaced if removed.

SERPENTINE BELT

The Dayco poly-V aramid belt is engineered to maintain a quiet, vibration-free belt drive system, especially for higher output OE engines that require an aramid belt. Unlike polyester-corded belts, this aramid cord belt is designed to resist the expected elongations, especially during high accessory loading. This unique feature of length stability and minimal stretch aids in difficult drives where span vibrations and tensioner movements are excessive. The Dayco aramid cord poly rib belt is built with Dayco’s specially designed EPDM rubber compounds to resist cracking and perform better under extreme temperature ranges.

Product Features:

• Designed for applications with an OEM aramid belt and is specifically helpful for those with noise, vibration or harshness issues, or in-drive systems in which tensioner take-up is minimal
• Length stability resists excessive span vibrations or tensioner movements
• Features special compounds that resist cracking and perform well under intense engine temperatures 

Constructed with aramid reinforced EPDM compounds, the Dayco poly-V serpentine belt delivers  more than just OE quality. Developed through extensive laboratory and road testing, the rib profile in this EPDM belt has been engineered to conform to high mile

Product Features:

• Provides full coverage for today’s light-duty vehicle market, especially vehicles with troublesome drives
• Engineered to help address noise issues caused by the belt drive 
• Capable of handling more extreme temperatures and workloads

The Driveworks belt is designed to provide better belt-to-pulley contact. The specialized rubber compound incorporates a high temperature polymer formulated to maximize load carrying requirements and belt life. This Driveworks ribbed belt has been constructed and engineered to meet the stringent demands of today’s automotive drive systems. The Driveworks ribbed belt delivers long-lasting dependable belt life.

Product Features:

• Constructed with heat and ozone resistant EPDM rubber
• Fiber is added to the rib stock to reinforce the rubber and reduce noise from worn and misaligned pulleys
• Made with treated polyester cord to reduce belt stretch

Constructed with aramid reinforced EPDM compounds, the Dayco poly-V serpentine belt delivers  more than just OE quality. Developed through extensive laboratory and road testing, the rib profile in this EPDM belt has been engineered to conform to high mileage, worn or misaligned drives and helps eliminate noisy belt conditions. Dayco poly rib serpentine belts offer extensive flexibility and longer service life, while handling higher workloads and temperatures.

DAYCO® ela® belts, also known as “stretch” belts, are specifically designed for 2 to 4 point drives that do not require tensioning. Although these belts may look like standard poly rib belts, they are very different. These specially designed belts have self-tensioning capabilities required by specific original equipment (OE) drives designed for a “stretch” belt. Vehicles that are manufactured with “stretch” belts must replace those belts with “stretch” belts. These belts are not interchangeable with standard constructed belts of the same size. DAYCO® ela® belts utilize a proprietary EPDM construction that is designed to elongate over the fixed pulley system, and then maintain the required belt tension over the life of the belt. The backbone behind the DAYCO® ela® belt is its specially developed polyamide tensile member, which allows for high elongation required for installation, yet provides the proper tension maintenance properties to transmit the accessory loads demanded for the drive. This belt construction incorporates a wear resistant EPDM rib material, along with a highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord, thus providing the required adhesion and flexibility to maintain lasting performance. “Stretch” belts have unique installation instructions depending on the OE application. Installation may require a specialized tool for the application or a simple zip tie. Do not attempt to install by prying the belt on the pulleys. Dayco provides detailed instructions on the reverse side of the sleeve. Dismounting and reusing stretch belts is not recommended. A new belt should be installed anytime one is removed.

Product Features:

• Wear resistant EPDM rib material
• Highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord
• Designed to elongate over the fixed pulley system
• Provides the proper tension maintenance Related Documents:
