Elastic multi V-belts enable the non-positive power transmission of torque in belt drives without a tensioning pulley. This is because the elastic tension member enables them to maintain their tension throughout their lifetime.

They drive, for example, the alternator, fan, water pump, air-conditioning compressor and power steering in modern engines. Thanks to its expertise as a specialist for belts and belt drive components, the ContiTech Power Transmission Group offers an elastic multi V-belt which meets the demanding requirements of modern engines.

ContiTech's Multi-V Belt is made up of three main components: cover coat, tension member and rib coating. The cover coat with its textured reverse consists of synthetic rubber which is especially wear-resistant. The key component of ContiTech's elastic multi V-belt is the tension member. Unlike normal multi V-belts, it is made of elastic polyamide fibers and guarantees that the belt runs neutrally.

In addition, the belt has a special coating on the ribs which guarantees good noise properties and an ideal grip even if the drive is slightly misaligned.
