Top 10 Generator Belt Manufacturers

Dayco belts are famous for their quality, however, sometimes they are inferior in this to Contitech products. Car owners noted that belts often do not fit in length. It depends on the tensioner used and not on the product itself. During operation, with increased loads on the generator, rubber often whistles. But for the price, don't expect more.In fact, this is a great combination of value / quality. In addition, Dayco alternator belts are even produced as original spare parts for some car models. If anything else can confuse the car owner, it's a terrible unpleasant smell of new rubber - it is clear that the compound is strongly chemical.

The German company has been developing belts, including drive belts, for more than 120 years. Each product is subject to strict quality control. That is why car owners note the jewelry structure of the teeth with strict observance of the dimensions and distance between them. The long resource of belts is explained by a special covering. A Teflon layer is sprayed onto the teeth, protecting them from wear and deformation. The first cracks on the product appear after 60,000-80,000 km of run. The main thing is not to fall for a fake. It is also important to monitor the condition of the tensioner and pulleys. Then the quality material of the German belt will last for many years. And for vehicles with increased loads, manufacturers offer a line of reinforced Extra belts. For models without a tensioner, products from the ELAST series are suitable.

The company began its work in 1911. To this day, its headquarters are located in Denver, USA. The history of the concern's innovations began from the moment when the brother of the founder of the company, John Gates, invented a unique V-belt that was installed in the transmission. Today it is a major manufacturer of rubber belts and agricultural hoses. The brand became so successful that it entered the TOP-500 of the largest companies in America according to Forbes. All the disadvantages of Gates belts come down to their incorrect replacement. The fact is that rubber products are sensitive to notches and irregularities of old pulleys. Therefore, along with the belt, it is worth changing them.

Belts of domestic production, which were installed on the Chevrolet Aveo from the assembly line. They may not be the coolest, but the cost is budget. After unpacking, you will have to wait a bit until the belt takes on a rounded shape. During operation, the belt does not fly off the pulleys, since it has rather deep streams. And the nylon cord, although not so strong, but allows the product to stretch taking the correct shape. Despite its elasticity, rubber does not stretch for very long. And one more plus - in wet weather, no extraneous sounds from the generator. In addition, Luzar products are successfully tested on racing cars.

The largest belt manufacturer in Korea. From 60 to 80% of original spare parts for HYUNDAI/KIA are supplied by DONGIL. And even the German company Bosch, when it comes to cars of Asian-Pacific production, orders parts from Dongil. In Russia, this brand became known even after 2012.Now it is one of the leaders in the domestic market for cars Grant, Priora, Kalina, Vesta, Niva, VAZ. At a budget cost, you can buy quality belts that are no worse than Gates, Bosch or Dayco in quality. And given the increasing popularity of Chinese stamping, Korean products are generally the best choice for a motorist.

This is a Russian brand offering spare parts of Chinese origin. The range includes parts for European, Russian, Korean, American and Japanese cars. Despite the fact that the inscription “Made in Germany” is found on the belts, the products have nothing to do with German quality. For an affordable price, you get a belt with a resource of 40,000-50,000 km. At the same time, installing the element will not be difficult. The moderate stiffness of the compound allows you to freely put it on the pulleys. Moderate elasticity prevents the belt from slipping off the pulleys. The main thing is to regularly check the condition of the belt, more often than with analogues.If you notice cracks, then you need to put a new one.

Despite the cheap cost, the quality of Russian-Chinese belts is not the worst. The toothed drive models are covered with a fabric that will not flake off over time. That's just in the process of aging, the top coating of the belt cracks and dries. And if the outer rubber cracks, then the belt quickly tans. Therefore, the resource of Russian products is small. Yes, the belt is out of date, but it will be in a terrible state. Its wear will be marked by flying pieces of rubber. If you need to save money, this is a good option. In other cases, you should not be led by a beautiful good appearance.

Russian brand specializing in the production of spare parts for cars and trucks. The company has fully mastered the range of parts for VAZ-GAZ-UAZ, Grant, Priora, Kalina, Vesta, Niva and is practicing in the production of elements for foreign cars. All belts are divided into three classes: standard Linea Perfezione, medium Linea Qualita, premium Linea Superiore. The main production lines are concentrated in China, although there are goods from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany and India. Sometimes a company may pack other brand products with its own box. By the way, Trialli's packaging is reliable, so the belt is not deformed during transportation. The name of the concern itself comes from the expression "Triplice Alleanza", which means "Triple Alliance" in translation. From this it becomes clear that the main department coordinates the work of the three enterprises.

Despite the German quality, long belts stretch a lot, which cannot be said about short models. Although at first such belts are difficult to pull on pulleys due to excessive rigidity. After only a little work, on a hot one, they sit tightly in their regular place. What pleases in German belts is a densely interwoven rope cord - strength is ensured. And the rubber adheres tightly to the roller and pulleys, without slipping under loads. Some lines are represented by models with a rag top layer instead of a rubber one. A fake can only be recognized during operation by fallen off streams.

Against the background of analogues, Bando belts stand out for their silent operation. Yes, most brand products are quiet. But as soon as moisture gets there, you will taste all the “charms” of whistles and rattles. And Bando belts also continue to work carefree and without noise in any conditions. Passes 80 ... 90,000 km - the rubber remains in excellent condition, in no way inferior to the original. All thanks to small villi and an additional rubber layer on the reverse side. By the way, such design solutions protect the pump.The production of the bulk of the belts is concentrated in Korea, so they are the best fit for Korean cars.
