Vibrations and irregular revolutions at the crankshaft together with thermal loads place extreme strain on the timing gear and auxiliary drive. These components therefore need to be examined closely during servicing.
RUVILLE offers all components necessary for changing the timing gear, including
• Tensioning pulleys
• Idler pulleys
• Tensioning pulley kits and sets
RUVILLE offers top quality repair solutions for the auxiliary drive:
• Hydraulic and mechanical tensioning units
• Overrunning alternator pulleys
• Crankshaft dampers
• Various kits for the auxiliary drive
Belt drive components
The timing gear and auxiliary drive are also fitted with mechanical or hydraulic damping elements on account of the high vibrations in the system. A fault in any one of these parts can result in major damage to the other components of the timing gear or auxiliary drive. The change intervals must therefore always be heeded. Overrunning alternator pulleys and crankshaft dampers decouple the vibrations of the crankshaft and auxiliary drive. If this decoupling function no longer takes place, it is possible in the worst case for the crankshaft to fail completely.
