Chrysler 300 Engine Pulleys

There are two primary types of vehicle pulleys: crank and accessory pulleys. It is the crank pulley that is attached to the crankshaft , which is used to power the rest of pulleys. When the engine is running, the crank pulley begins to rotate, thus transferring the motion to the rest of pulleys, while utilizing a v-type or serpentine belt. At times, the camshaft features power takeoff, with it being connected to the crank by means of sprocket-powered chains or belts. And in this case, all of the accessories that are brought into motion by the camshaft pulley are also indirectly powered by the crankshaft.

When one accessory pulley rotates because of the drive belt motion, it causes the actual accessory to initiate its work. For example, the rotational motion of the alternator pulley creates a magnetic field which is converted into electricity, thus making the alternator work. The pulley which causes power steering fluid to pressurize and circulate makes it easier for you to steer your Chrysler 300. Typically, when the vehicle’s engine works, pulleys activate various accessories. A damaged pulley can cause the belt to tear or slip off, instantly resulting in engine overheating or stalling. So don't hold back and find the necessary replacement in our range of Chrysler 300 engine pulleys.
