Power transmission components are permanently
exposed to extreme loads. The very location in which
they are installed exposes them to peak temperatures of up to +140C. This calls for materials which are
extremely temperature-resistant. In a collaborative
action with the polymer industry, ContiTech has developed a high-performance elastomer for temperature
ranges from -30C to +140C. This ensures reliable
long-term power transmission operations in heavyduty timing belts for vehicle engines.

Winning drive solutions: kits and sets

with ideally matched components.

In the automotive aftermarket we offer our timing belts

and multi V-belts as complete packages with all the
precisely matched drive components required.

Everything you need in one place.

Changing a belt often requires more than just a belt.
Buying all the components separately, however, is
extremely time-consuming. Our complete packages
make the whole job easy for you and offer a raft of
benefits: just a single item to order, significantly reduced administrative input for processing and at
Goods Inward, and only one storage location required
for several elements. In the event of any complaints, you have just one contact for everything, i.e.
ContiTech. We help quickly, directly and straightforwardly.

Multi V-belt + torsional vibration damper

The kit contains a multi V-belt and a
torsional vibration damper (TVD) or a torsional
vibration damper isolator (TVDi).

Timing belt kit

The kit contains a timing belt
and, depending on the application, tension, idler and guide
pulleys and accessories.

cranking it up.

If modern engines are to run at their best, they need

components and multi V-belts to be ideally matched.

Torsional vibration dampers (TVD) have a key function in the drive system of modern engines: they damp
crankshaft vibrations. This reduces stresses on the
power transmission belts and the ancillary components. In the case of torsional vibration damper
isolators (TVDi), the belt drive of the ancillary components is also decoupled. Resonance which occurs
because of cyclic irregularities in the crankshaft is
therefore cancelled out particularly effectively.

Torsional vibration dampers and

overrunning alternator pulleys.
Thanks to its overrunning clutch, the overrunning
alternator pulley (OAP) damps the vibrations which
are generated by cyclic irregularities in the crankshaft and also enables the engine speed to be reduced
rapidly in the event of sudden load changes. Thanks
to its integrated spring/damper system, the overrunning alternator decoupler (OAD) also decouples the
multi V-belt from the alternator, thereby enabling it to
damp resonance more effectively.

We provide various measuring instruments and

special tools to support the professional handling of
our power transmission belts and kits, which ensure
inexpensive and proper installation.

Play safe.
Our BTT Hz Belt Tension Tester, for example, is
especially useful for testing the tension of multi V-belts
and timing belts. It is user-friendly and precise and
operates in accordance with the latest method:
frequency measurement in hertz. Unlike other
instruments of this type, the BTT Hz can measure
all belts, including OE or competition products. Then
there is the award-winning TOOL BOX which contains
a complete tool set especially for professionally
changing timing belts. Tension gauges for V-belts
and multi V-belts round off our range of special
tools and instruments.

Our Drive Your Success

Timing belts
for driving the car engine timing.
Timing belts enable synchronous power transmission
in car engines. Their task is to drive camshafts,
injection pumps, balancer shafts and other ancillary
components. They are available in the three different
basic profiles for timing belts Trapezoidal (LA/LAH),
High Torque Drive (HTD) and Super Torque Drive
(STD). You will therefore find the appropriate belt in
our range for every vehicle.

Multi V-belts
for driving ancillary components in cars
and commercial vehicles.
Ancillary components in modern engines are now
driven by multi V-belts. They can drive multiple
ancillary components at the same time, transmit
higher power and need little space ideal for
complex drives.

V-belts
for driving ancillary components in cars
and commercial vehicles.
V-belts are the powerful solution for standard
drives in cars, trucks and buses. Their task
is to drive alternators, fans, water pumps,
A/C compressors and power steering systems.
These belts do not require retensioning as
they are service-free.

By choosing ContiTech power

transmission belts you are opting
for the quality preferred as original
equipment by leading carmakers.
