Z-Vib: Your best choice in Decoupler Pulleys
The Z-Vib Decoupler pulley is an innovative product that combines shock absorption and overrunning functions together in an alternator pulley. This allows vehicle manufacturers to reduce the tension applied to the accessory belt drive and also reduce engine RPM at idle. The new Z-Vib pulley is designed to shift resonance frequencies resulting in lower vibration levels, which enhances overall efficiency and extends the lifetime of the accessory belt drive system.
