The way it fits around and on top of the pulleys.
somewhere in the 44" size but best to look on the belt for a number or remove it and match it to a new belt. might also measure around around the pulleys with a small rope/string if you don't have a old belt to get the size of the belt.
It is the route the belt follows around all the pulleys on the engine that belt is driving.
Idler pulleys are used to maximize belt contact with other pulleys and to redirect belt around other parts that might interfere with the belt.
The way the alternator belt raps around pulleys in the automobile differs by vehicle and engine. An alternator belt in an older vehicle usually just went around the fan blade, the water pump, and the alternator. Today's vehicles are more complicated and might require more pulleys.
Yes, I just did the other day actually. Surprisingly, the belt that goes around the alertnator/water pump actually fits around just the power steering and engine (without going around the ac compressor). Not sure why people spend money on bypass pulleys when you can just use a shorter belt.
A conveyor belt is an assembly of a belt rotating around two pulleys. Either one or both of the pulleys of the conveyor belt system are powered to rotate; when they rotate, the belt moves as well, transporting the materials on the belt from one place to another.
Some examples of pulleys include clothesline pulleys, flagpole pulleys, and elevator pulleys. Pulleys are simple machines that consist of a wheel with a groove around its circumference and a rope or belt that moves around the groove to lift or lower objects.
Yes, the belt system has pulleys.
Put an 18mm wrench on the lower tensioner belt and rotate CCW to loosen the tension. Remove the belt from around the alternator pulley, and slowly release the tensioner. Unwrap the belt from all the pulleys and install the new belt following the belt diagram located near the radiator support. ALWAYS make sure the grooved side of the belt is contacting the grooved pulleys, and the smooth side of the belt is contacting the smooth pulleys (Idler pulleys). Groove to Groove -- Smooth to Smooth
Usually this means one of the pulleys is locked up. The belt winds around multiple pulleys, when one locks up it doesn't rotate and the friction is burning away the belt, giving you the smoking and squealing.
It is the large belt going around all the pulleys on the front of the engine.
