- Includes two pulleys: one flanged thermoplastic pulley and one non-flanged pulley
- Pulley 1 dimensions: 1.180 inch bore diameter, 2.05 inch outside diameter, 0.75 inch width
- Pulley 1 features three grooves with a smooth surface
- Pulley 2 dimensions: 2.760 inch bore diameter and outside diameter, smooth surface
- Compatible with Toyota Camry accessory drive belt systems
Detailed Features and Specifications
This tensioner assembly features two pulleys designed to maintain optimal belt tension and reduce wear. Pulley 1 is constructed from durable thermoplastic material, providing a flanged design with three grooves to accommodate the Multi-V belt profile. Its bore diameter of 1.180 inches and outside diameter of 2.05 inches ensure precise fitment and smooth operation. Pulley 2 is non-flanged with a larger bore and outside diameter of 2.760 inches, designed to complement the assembly’s function without grooves, maintaining belt alignment and tension.
The smooth pulley surfaces reduce friction and noise, contributing to quieter engine operation. This assembly is engineered to meet the specifications required for Toyota Camry vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance.
