Structure and workings

The V-ribbed belt grew out of the V-belt. Its main use is in modern engines. It has ribs running lengthwise. The belt likewise drives the engine's accessory units. These include the alternator, the cooling water pump, the air conditioning compressor and the power steering pump.
