PIX-FORCE®-XT Automotive Poly-V (Serpentine) Belts
PIX-FORCE®-XT is PIX's Automotive Poly-V Belt, also known as a Serpentine Belt — a single, continuous multi-ribbed Belt that winds through the engine pulleys to power the alternator, power steering pump, air-conditioning compressor and other accessories from one drive.
Product Description
In older engines, multiple Belts performed varied functions; modern vehicles instead run fully on a single Belt. PIX-FORCE®-XT is this Poly-V / Serpentine Belt — it may solely operate the alternator, or it may also drive the water pump, air compressor, air-conditioning compressor and power steering pump, all from one continuous Belt.
The current PIX-FORCE®-XT range is published in PK and DPK sections, manufactured to ISO 9981, RMA IP 26 and JASO E-109 standards. Belts are available in moulded construction across a wide range of standard lengths, with intermediate sizes available upon request.
