Probably one of the car's simplest devices is the drive belt. Drive belts are flat rubber devices that run multiple car accessories found under the hood. Basically, there are two major types of a drive belt, the V-belt and the Serpentine belt. The V-belt is named after the V shaped cross section that it features, while the Serpentine belt also called as a Poly-V belt, Poly-Rib, Multi Rib, and Micro V-belt is named after the snake-like way that it uses to run the pulleys. Modern vehicles apply only a single serpentine belt because it removes the need for multiple separated V-belts. Commonly, a multi rib belt is made from high grade materials with high-tensile strength cords and the application of synthetic rubber components. The Ford multi rib belt feature lengthwise grooves that provide enhanced adhesion and contact between the belt and the pulleys. The major role of the multi rib belt is to link or connect the engine of the vehicle to the car accessories installed on the front side of the car's engine compartment area providing power for it to function. Although multi rib belts are made to ensure optimum durability and reliability using high grade materials, we cannot say that they are safe from corrosion and wearing. So to make sure that your car accessories will function properly, you should never ignore if your drive belt is already showing some signs like chattering, slapping or squealing noise and the appearance of cracks on the belt itself. If these signs are present in your vehicle, you should have you car checked to make sure that the damage is not yet severe. A damaged drive belt could cause a malfunction on the devices that it runs.
