Since 2004, automobile\u003cbr\u003e\nmanufacturers have been designing drives using self-tensioning belts. These\u003cbr\u003e\ndrives do not have a mechanical tensioner to maintain constant belt tension\u003cbr\u003e\nand they do not have an adjustment slot that allows belt installation and\u003cbr\u003e\ntensioning. The Continental Stretch Belt incorporates low modulus and high\u003cbr\u003e\nelongation technologies that allow the belt to be installed on these fixed\u003cbr\u003e\ndrive systems and provide the “self-tensioning†capabilities necessary to\u003cbr\u003e\nmaintain proper belt tension in the absence of an automatic tensioner.\u003cbr\u003e\nContinental's distinctive design uses the latest OEM technology in EPDM\u003cbr\u003e\ncompounds and a polyamide tensile cord that stretches for installation, then\u003cbr\u003e\nrecovers once installed to maintain proper tension. Although Continental\u003cbr\u003e\nStretch Belts look similar to Continental Poly-V belts, they are dramatically\u003cbr\u003e\ndifferent and not interchangeable with our Poly-V or other serpentine belts.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Continental Stretch Belt can be differentiated by its part number. The\u003cbr\u003e\nfunctional Poly-V part number that includes the number of ribs and length also\u003cbr\u003e\nhas an “S†suffix, indicating a stretch belt.","brand":"Continental","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45608488108286,"sku":"4060408S","price":20.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/8060\/9790\/files\/47f2dd3fe94a3d5d573906f8eacc6a35058ea293c75f451806b43021e7751270_5e4942fc-e3a3-4606-b04c-4fab7ac79c13.jpg?v=1720536452","url":"https:\/\/filterbrothers.com\/products\/continental-elite-4060408s-poly-v-serpentine-stretch-belt-1","provider":"Filter Brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
