Increased life span for the complete accessory drive
Auxiliary systems
Most trucks today are equipped with automatic belt tensioners in the auxiliary drive system and the market continues to grow creating new demand for high quality products. SKF's automatic belt tensioner units and idlers can last up to twice as long as components from other aftermarket suppliers. This has a positive effect on the fleet uptime by increasing the life span of the complete auxiliary drive system.
