Technical Description and Specifications

This serpentine belt features an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber compound, known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and wear, which helps extend belt life under typical engine operating conditions. The 6-rib configuration provides a stable and efficient transfer of power to engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Reinforced with polyester cords, the belt maintains structural integrity and resists stretching, ensuring consistent tension and performance. The K cross section and precise length measurements (effective length 1815 mm and outside circumference 1830 mm) make it compatible with specific Ford, Mazda, and Mercury models.
