Idler Pulley
An idler pulley is a component used in a vehicle's engine belt system. It is designed to guide and maintain tension in the engine belt, ensuring smooth operation and optimal power transmission. The idler pulley is typically mounted on a stationary bracket and rotates freely on a bearing, allowing it to redirect the belt and maintain proper tension.

Selecting the correct idler pulley is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your engine belt system. When choosing an idler pulley, consider factors such as the number of ribs on your engine belt. Different vehicles may have different belt configurations, such as 6-rib or 8-rib belts. It's important to match the idler pulley with the corresponding number of ribs on your belt to ensure proper alignment and tension.
