    Free Wheel Pulley

    Pulleys

    A Freewheel pulley makes the mechanical link between the alternator and the engine output crankshaft pulley. The pulley drives the alternator which allows the battery to be recharged. The Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP), also called the freewheel pulley, is a spare part of the complete alternator. It is composed of a pulley with an outside diameter suitable for fitting a “poly-V” belt (drive belt), a one-way clutch unit with bearing supports, an inner ring, two seals and an end cover in plastic. This alternator component is subject to high stress: it rotates up to 12,000 r/min.

     

    The Freewheel Pulley is used to

    Protect belt drive system by filtering engine torsional vibrations to improve the belt drive longevity
    Ensure belt drive N.V.H. (Noise-Vibration-Harshness) for optimum driving comfort
    Stop friction losses caused by belt slippage
    Allow the alternator rotor to turn in freewheel mode when the engine is slowing down or stopping for maximum system efficiency, fuel savings and CO2 emissions reduction
