Ancillary components and belt drive
Brief description
Various ancillary components are driven by the crankshaft of the
engine with the aid of one or two drive belts.
The belt is routed over deflection pulleys in order to ensure
sufficient hold (adhesion) about the drive wheels.
Tensioning rollers subject the belt to the necessary preload.
The ancillary components fulfil various tasks only when the
engine is running.
