Alternator Pulley

Alternator pulley is a part rotated by the alternator to charge and power the vehicle's electrical system.

1. Material: · The alternator pulley is usually made of durable materials such as aluminum, steel or cast iron. The choice of these materials affects factors such as durability, weight and heat dissipation.

2. Number of or Grooves: · The number of grooves on the surface of the alternator pulley varies depending on the type of pulley and the alternator design.

3. Belt Type: · The alternator pulley must be compatible with a multi-ribbed belt or other type of drive system. This ensures that the pulley is suitable for a specific engine and alternator combination.

4. Diameter and Width: · The diameter of the alternator pulley determines the rotational speed of the pulley. The width ensures that the pulley sits properly on the belt.

5. Load Capacity: · The load carrying capacity of the alternator pulley must be compatible with the power generated by the alternator.

6. Manufacturing Tolerances: · Precise manufacturing tolerances ensure that the alternator pulley functions properly and is compatible with other engine parts.

7. Balance: · The alternator pulley must be designed to be balanced. Imbalance can cause vibration of the pulley and wear of other parts.
