Premium lubricated ball bearings and double high temperature seals ensure peak bearing performance, the most critical element of a pulley’s service life.

Product Features:

• Designed for the majority of automotive vehicle applications on the road today
• High-quality materials help resist wear and improve belt life
• Features premium lubricated bearings to extend service life
• Meets or exceeds OE quality

The Dayco curved radiator hose features knitted reinforcement, a protective sleeve and a synthetic EPDM rubber construction for high-strength performance, protection against abrasion and resistance to oil, mud, salt, road debris, ozone and coolants. It can also withstand temperature variations of -40 Deg. F (-40 Deg. C) to +257 Deg. F (+125 Deg. C). The inner base tube is reinforced with knitted rayon for maximum strength and burst resistance for the life of the hose.

Product Features:

• Meets SAE J20R4, Class D-1 requirements
• Meets Type EC electro-chemical requirements as specified in SAE J1684, which prevents inner tube deterioration caused by the build-up of static electric charges
• Provides excellent protection against external elements

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 

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.
